Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council procured electrical, asbestos removal and building fabric works at Askam Village School. The package covered distribution equipment, fire alarms, security systems, lighting and emergency lighting, small power, data and telecommunications, asbestos removal, removal of lath-and-plaster ceilings, insulation upgrades, ceiling renewal, decoration and associated fabric works. The school was to remain a live site, with areas decanted sequentially to an externally placed portable classroom; installation of that classroom was by others. The work is construction and electrical refurbishment for a school, rather than a standalone supply of electrical equipment. Delivery is at Askam Village School in Askam-in-Furness, Cumbria.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Stobbarts Limited. The Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 1 October 2026, at £963,268. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 1 September 2027. The tender response deadline was 9 July 2026. The procurement was presented as a single package of electrical and fabric works; the portable classroom installation was outside the contractor’s scope. The tender estimate was £660,000, while the awarded value was £963,268. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to take part. No award evaluation criteria are stated in the process information.

For suppliers considering comparable school refurbishment work for Westmorland and Furness Council, this award demonstrates demand for an integrated electrical and building fabric package delivered on an occupied school site. A credible competitor would need to coordinate distribution equipment, fire and security systems, lighting, small power and data services with asbestos removal, ceiling replacement, insulation, decoration and associated fabric works. The sequential decanting approach makes planning around school operations and safe work areas central to delivery; the portable classroom was provided by others, so interface management with a separate provider is also relevant. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that a business of that scale won this package. The Council used a framework call-off route, so relevant framework access and the capability to deliver the full combined scope would matter in competing for the same requirement.
