What is being bought

Published requirement description

Hull City Council (The Authority) is seeking tenders from interested organisations to provide water testing services for fountains across Kingston upon Hull. The tender is an open procedure consisting of a one stage process. The contract is anticipated to commence 1 October 2026 ending by 31 September 2029 with an option to extend for a period of one year. The Authority has estimated the value of the services to be £60,000 per annum. The estimated value is given in good faith to assist tenderers in making their submissions, it should not be interpreted as an undertaking to purchase any services to any particular value by the Authority and does not form part of the Contract. Further information is contained within the tender documentation. Please ensure all tender submission documents are completed as detailed. Incomplete bids will be eliminated from further process.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 28 Sept 2029, 23:59 BST.
  • No preliminary market engagement: The Authority considered whether preliminary market engagement would add value to the development of this procurement. Having reviewed existing market intelligence, previous procurement activity, supplier performance information, and the maturity of the relevant market, the Authority concluded that it possesses sufficient information to design and conduct the procurement in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. Preliminary market engagement is therefore not considered necessary or proportionate in the circumstances.
