Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council commissioned the design and replacement of the Moss Side cattle grid, including all associated components. The structure is on the U3193 public highway near Hornby Hall, about 3.5 miles east of Penrith, just off the A66. This is a highway construction project focused on replacing the cattle grid and its ancillary elements. The requirement is localised to this site in Cumbria rather than a wider road network programme.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 25 September 2026 at 12:00, and the award was made on 8 October 2026. Metcalfe Plant Hire Limited was selected for £63,377.39. The contract period runs from 26 October to 11 December 2026. The procurement was estimated at £40,000. It was presented as a single requirement, with no lot division recorded. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No specific evaluation criteria are stated in the available process information.

This award shows demand from Westmorland and Furness Council for specialist highway works involving the design and replacement of rural cattle grids, including associated components. A credible competitor when this particular requirement returns to market would need to demonstrate the capability to design and deliver a complete cattle-grid replacement on a public highway, with the practical resources to undertake work at a rural site near Penrith. The selected supplier, Metcalfe Plant Hire Limited, is recorded as a small or medium-sized business, indicating that this scale of requirement can be delivered by an SME. Firms with relevant roadworks experience, suitable plant and the ability to manage ancillary works would be well placed to compete for this buyer’s future cattle-grid replacement work.
