Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured construction works to replace the biomass boiler and associated plant at Stoneraise School. The project formed part of the council’s Schools Prioritised Capital Maintenance Programme for 2026/27 and was intended to renew the school’s biomass heating installation. The work was delivered in England, with Stoneraise School identified as the project site. The procurement covered works rather than goods or standalone services, and its classification was construction work (CPV 45000000). It is relevant to contractors able to undertake biomass boiler replacement, associated plant works and related capital maintenance in a school environment. The buying organisation was Cumberland Council, based in Carlisle, and the requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a tender process using the stated method “Other”. The submission deadline was 15 May 2026 at 12 noon. Cumberland Council awarded the contract to ROLAND HILL (PARSONBY) LIMITED on 2 June 2026 for £138,460. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. The award covers the biomass boiler replacement and associated plant at Stoneraise School. There was one stated requirement rather than separate lots. The procurement category was works, and the published information identifies the opportunity as suitable for SMEs. The award is active, with the selected supplier recorded as an SME. No separate evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria is stated.

For suppliers that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for biomass boiler replacement and associated plant within Cumberland Council’s school estate. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical construction capability, relevant experience replacing biomass heating equipment and the ability to coordinate associated plant works at an operational education site. The requirement was considered suitable for an SME, indicating that delivery does not inherently depend on the scale of a major national contractor. Businesses with an established construction delivery team, competent biomass heating specialists and experience in planned capital maintenance would be well placed to assess comparable council requirements. The project also indicates demand linked to the council’s prioritised schools maintenance programme, so suppliers serving public-sector education estates may find this buyer particularly relevant.
