Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council commissioned refurbishment works at Captain Shaw's Primary School, covering rainwater goods, damp remediation and decorations. The requirement falls within construction work and is classified under CPV 45000000. The work is for a school site in England, with the council acting as the buyer. The scope combines external repair and building-fabric improvement rather than a standalone supply contract, so it is relevant to contractors able to coordinate several related trades. Businesses with experience of school refurbishment, roof drainage and rainwater systems, damp treatment, external finishes and associated repair works would be the closest match. The procurement was identified as works and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that firms of that scale were considered capable of delivering the requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The tender deadline was 20 May 2026 at 12:00. Cumberland Council awarded the contract to Stobbarts Ltd on 1 June 2026 for £119,740 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. The procurement used a tender process described as “Other”. The awarded scope is the refurbishment works for Captain Shaw's Primary, including rainwater goods, damp remediation and decorations. Stobbarts Ltd is the selected supplier, and the award is recorded as active. The published tender value and awarded value are both £119,740. The short contract period indicates a defined refurbishment programme to be delivered within the stated summer period.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Cumberland Council for school refurbishment combining rainwater goods, damp remediation and decorative external repairs. A credible future competitor would need practical construction capability across these activities, with the management capacity to coordinate a compact, multi-trade programme at an occupied or operational education site. Relevant experience should include diagnosing and resolving damp, installing or repairing rainwater drainage, completing external repair and decoration work, and managing quality, safety and site logistics. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, so a smaller contractor with the right trade coverage and delivery controls could be well placed. Firms able to provide a coordinated refurbishment service, rather than only one isolated trade, would be most relevant.
