Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council procured detailed design and construction services for the revitalisation of Kendal Indoor Market Hall, under the Heart of Kendal programme. The construction work is intended to create an attractive destination that brings more people into the town centre, supports local businesses, residents and visitors, and strengthens Kendal’s identity. The project also includes flexible space for cultural events and activities, and improved connections between the indoor Market Hall and the outdoor Market Place, creating a more joined-up market offer and flow of visitors. The procurement is categorised as construction work (CPV 45000000) and is delivered in Kendal, within the North West of England.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a call-off from a framework. The tender submission deadline was 6 July 2026 at noon, and the award was made on 7 August 2026. F Parkinson Ltd was selected for the contract at £108,957.40 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 12 January 2027 to 21 January 2027. The requirement was classified as a services procurement, despite the construction-work classification, and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, with Westmorland and Furness Council as the buying organisation.

This award indicates demand from Westmorland and Furness Council for suppliers able to combine construction delivery with detailed design for public-facing town-centre regeneration. A credible competitor for comparable work would need the capacity to deliver a high-quality market-hall environment, coordinate improvements to indoor and outdoor trading spaces, and support flexible areas for events and activities. Understanding placemaking, visitor experience, local business needs and the practical operation of a market would be relevant. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was within the potential scale and capability of a smaller construction business. Experience of framework call-offs and working with a local authority would also be commercially relevant.
