About the buyer

Kingston upon Hull City Council is the local authority for Hull, and its larger contracts are procured through a Corporate Procurement Team. Tenders above the quotation level are advertised on YORtender, the Yorkshire and Humber e-tendering portal, where registration is free. Higher-value notices go to Find a Tender through the Central Digital Platform, with Contracts Finder used for mid-value contracts. Council rules presume in favour of central purchasing arrangements and frameworks for regular repeat purchases. Procurement Category Managers publish pipeline notices of larger upcoming activity. Supplier support is delivered with YORprocure, YPO and the Government Commercial Agency.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Kingston upon Hull City Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and IT services.
