Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured construction works to upgrade the electrical systems at Cleator Moor Nursery. The scope covers emergency lighting, fire-alarm systems and wall heaters, intended to improve the nursery’s electrical infrastructure and safety systems. This is a works contract rather than a supply-only or professional-services requirement. Delivery is in England, at the nursery in Cleator Moor. The procurement was led and paid for by Cumberland Council, based in Carlisle. The work is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to electrical contractors and building-services firms that deliver upgrades in occupied or operational education settings. Businesses with experience in electrical installation, emergency lighting, fire alarms and electric heating would be aligned with the requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Cumberland Council selected ROLAND HILL (PARSONBY) LIMITED. The award was made on 15 June 2026 for £116,007 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12:00. It used an open tender initiation with the procurement method recorded as ‘Other’. The requirement was treated as construction work and was evaluated through the procurement process leading to a single active award. There were no lots or separate awards recorded, so the named supplier holds the full awarded requirement.

This award shows a defined requirement for a contractor able to combine several building electrical disciplines in one nursery upgrade: emergency lighting, fire-alarm installation or modification, and wall-mounted electric heating. A credible future competitor would need competent installation teams, project supervision and the capacity to coordinate electrical works across a live education environment while maintaining safety and continuity. Relevant experience in schools, nurseries or comparable public buildings would help demonstrate understanding of safeguarding, access controls, testing and handover. Firms should also be able to manage compliance documentation, commissioning and defects resolution across the whole installation. The opportunity is particularly relevant to SMEs that can deliver construction-led electrical upgrades directly rather than only supplying equipment.
