Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured construction works at Beacon Valley Primary School in Whitehaven. The project covers replacement of the school’s fire doors and associated fire-stopping works, forming part of the Schools Prioritised Capital Maintenance Programme for 2026/27. This is a building works requirement focused on fire safety and the maintenance or improvement of an occupied education premises. The buyer is Cumberland Council, based in Carlisle, and the delivery location is Whitehaven, England. The requirement is relevant to principal contractors and specialist building firms able to survey, remove and replace fire doors and carry out compliant fire-stopping works in a school environment. It may also suit firms that can coordinate associated construction activities and manage delivery around the operational needs of a primary school.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Stobbarts Ltd on 12 June 2026. The award value is £207,889. The contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 1 September 2027. Bids were due by 29 May 2026 at 12 noon. The procurement used a tender process described as “Other” and the requirement was classified as works. The tender was marked complete, and the award is active. Cumberland Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The recorded outcome is a single award to Stobbarts Ltd for the fire-door replacement and fire-stopping project. The award value is the same as the overall estimated tender value, providing an indication of the scale of the works purchased for this school.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates a defined requirement from Cumberland Council for school fire-door replacement and fire-stopping works, delivered as part of a prioritised capital maintenance programme. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical construction capability in fire safety upgrades, including the removal and installation of fire doors and the delivery of fire-stopping measures to the required standard. Experience working in schools or other occupied public buildings would help demonstrate the ability to plan safely, control disruption and coordinate with the building’s users. Firms should also be able to manage a substantial single-site works package, provide competent staff and evidence reliable project delivery. The procurement’s SME suitability indicates that established regional specialists may be well placed to compete.
