Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council commissioned construction works to replace the fire alarm system at Fellview Primary School. The requirement is a school fire-alarm replacement project, covering the physical works needed to remove and replace the existing system. It falls within the construction work category (CPV 45000000). Delivery is in England, at Fellview Primary School. The buying organisation is Cumberland Council, based in Carlisle. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist electrical contractors, fire-protection businesses and construction firms with the capability to carry out fire-alarm replacement works in an occupied or operational primary-school environment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Cumberland Council used an other procurement procedure. The tender deadline was 10 June 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to PK Electrical (Carlisle) Ltd on 22 June 2026 for £26,811.61 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. The awarded supplier is an SME. The tender’s estimated value and the awarded value are both £26,811.61. This was a single requirement rather than a multi-lot award. The outcome records an active award to PK Electrical (Carlisle) Ltd for the fire-alarm replacement works at Fellview Primary School.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist electrical and fire-alarm replacement work within Cumberland Council’s school estate. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience replacing fire-alarm systems, coordinating construction activity in a school setting, and delivering compliant, reliable installations with minimal disruption to staff and pupils. The successful supplier profile also shows that an SME can secure this type of council work. Businesses with an established local or regional delivery operation, suitably qualified electrical and fire-protection personnel, strong project coordination, and evidence of comparable education-sector installations would be well placed to compete when this requirement returns.
