Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council commissioned construction works at Ennerdale and Kinniside Primary School under its Schools Prioritised Capital Maintenance Programme for 2026/27. The project covers replacement of the school’s cloakroom roof, installation of new boiler plant and associated works. It is a building and mechanical services requirement, classified as construction work (CPV 45000000). The work is specific to the named primary school rather than a broader regional programme. The council is the buying organisation, based in Carlisle. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller building contractors, roofing specialists, heating and boiler installation firms, or contractors able to manage these elements together. The requirement combines fabric repair with heating-system replacement in an operational education setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a tender process. The tender submission deadline was 10 June 2026 at 23:59. Cumberland Council awarded the contract on 16 July 2026 to ROLAND HILL (PARSONBY) LIMITED, an SME, for £82,997. The contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 29 September 2026. The awarded value matches the estimated tender value of £82,997. The award is recorded as active, and the tender is recorded as complete. The requirement was treated as works, with no lots or separate awards identified. The published information describes the procurement method as “Other”, without further procedural detail. The award followed a single recorded tender process for the combined roof, boiler plant and associated works package.

This award provides a clear example of Cumberland Council’s demand for planned school maintenance that combines roofing and heating works within one project. A supplier seeking to compete for comparable requirements would need practical capability in cloakroom or similar roof replacement, boiler plant installation and associated building works, with sufficient coordination to deliver a combined package. Experience of working in a primary-school environment would help demonstrate an understanding of access, safety, disruption and programme controls, although those requirements are not stated as formal criteria here. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller contractors with the relevant trade capacity may be credible competitors. Firms able to self-deliver both disciplines, or manage reliable specialist partners, would be well placed for similar council-maintained school projects.
