Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council has completed the award stage for the tender titled "CWF Lot 1A - Milnthorpe Primary School Phase 3 Electrical Works," under the construction industry category. This procurement process involved crucial improvements to the school's electrical distribution and fire alarm systems, alongside other enhancements. The procurement, conducted through a selective method as part of a call-off from a framework agreement, covers work within the North West of the United Kingdom, specifically running from 18th July 2026 to 31st August 2026. The award, official as of 9th July 2026, valued at £135,184, has been granted to Michael Thompson Limited. The total allocated budget for this tender was originally set at £160,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction and electrical work, particularly those familiar with educational infrastructure projects. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the construction sector could benefit from similar future contracts, considering the recurring nature of maintenance work in educational settings as outlined by the Council's Planned School Maintenance Programme. Businesses capable of engaging in selective procurement processes and having experience in framework agreements will find themselves well-positioned to compete for these types of contracts, fostering potential growth and establishing valuable relationships with regional councils.
