Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured works to replace the building management system (BMS) at Kirkbride Primary School, together with associated works. The project forms part of the council’s Schools Prioritised Capital Maintenance Programme for 2026/27. In practical terms, the requirement is a school controls and building-services replacement project, with the associated works classified under plumbing and sanitary works. Delivery is at Kirkbride Primary School in England. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is categorised as works. The project is intended to improve or renew the school’s BMS infrastructure alongside related building-services work, rather than provide a standalone supply of equipment. The scope is therefore relevant to contractors able to undertake BMS replacement and coordinate connected works in an occupied school estate.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Cumberland Council selected Roland Hill Ltd. The award was made on 19 August 2026 for £44,117 including the stated currency, against an estimated procurement value of £45,000. The awarded contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. The works were planned to follow the school summer holidays. The procurement used a tender process with the method recorded as “Other”. It was not divided into stated lots. The requirement was assessed as works, with the classification covering plumbing and sanitary works. The award is active, and the selected supplier is recorded as Roland Hill Ltd, based in Aspatria, Wigton.

This award demonstrates demand from Cumberland Council for small-scale school capital-maintenance projects combining BMS replacement with associated building-services work. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical capability in building management systems, controls installation or replacement, and the plumbing or sanitary works that may be required alongside the main system. Delivery in a school setting also points to the importance of planning work around the education calendar and coordinating activities so that the site can be returned to use after the holidays. Suppliers should be able to manage a defined works package for a public-sector school, coordinate related trades, and deliver within a short, clearly bounded programme. The buyer’s preference here was for a large supplier rather than an SME or VCSE.
