Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured construction works at Irthington Village Primary School in England. The requirement was to replace the school roof, replace the rainwater goods and replace the lead valley serving the pitched roof. This is a building and roofing works contract, classified under CPV 45000000 (construction work). The work is for a named primary school facility rather than a general property maintenance programme, so relevant suppliers are those able to undertake a defined school-roof replacement project and associated rainwater goods work. The buyer is Cumberland Council, based in Carlisle, and the delivery location is in England, United Kingdom.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 3 June 2026 to Top Notch Contractors Ltd. The awarded value was £113,555. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 27 May 2026 at 12:00. The procurement used a route recorded as “Other”. Cumberland Council assessed the requirement as works and indicated that it was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the successful supplier is a Carlisle-based SME. No separate lots or alternative awards are identified.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist roofing and building contractors able to replace pitched-roof coverings, renew lead valleys and install or replace rainwater goods at an operational education site. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience coordinating these activities as one project, managing work around a school environment and delivering construction work to the required quality and safety standards. The buyer’s assessment that the requirement is suitable for SMEs indicates that smaller established contractors can be credible providers where they have the necessary roofing workforce, site-management capability, relevant equipment and supply-chain access. Experience of comparable public-sector or education-site projects would strengthen future credibility.
