Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council procured replacement windows and doors at Heron Hill Primary School. The work is a building refurbishment project, delivered at the school in the North West of England. It covers replacing windows and doors rather than a wider school construction programme. The procurement was run through the council’s Minor Works Dynamic Purchasing System, a route for appointing contractors to defined works packages. This requirement is for suppliers experienced in carrying out window and door replacement in a primary school setting, where the work needs to be delivered at an operational public-sector site. The named buyer is Westmorland and Furness Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to B & K Builders. The award was made on 7 October 2026, following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The council’s estimated procurement value was £82,893; the awarded contract value was £82,893.60. The contract period runs from 24 October to 22 November 2026. The tender deadline was 24 September 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot breakdown or award evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information. The selected supplier is a small business, and the award is active.

This award demonstrates demand from Westmorland and Furness Council for targeted window and door replacement at a primary school, rather than a larger new-build project. A credible competitor would need to deliver a defined package of building works on a school site, with the practical capacity to complete the replacement within a short, tightly scheduled programme. Relevant experience would include coordinating access and installation work in an education setting and managing the associated building trades. The council used a selective call-off through its Minor Works Dynamic Purchasing System, so familiarity with public-sector minor works procurement and the relevant purchasing route would help suppliers compete when similar requirements return to market. The award to a small business also shows that this type of package was within SME scale.
