Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council procured construction works at Ulverston Market Hall as part of its Planned Corporate Maintenance and Decarbonisation Programme. The requirement was to replace a temporary gas boiler with a new permanent boiler array and create a new fire-rated boiler compartment on the market hall’s mezzanine floor. This is a mechanical construction and building-services project, with associated fire-rated construction work. Delivery is in Ulverston, in the North West of England. The procurement is classified as construction work and is identified as Lot 1A of the council’s wider programme. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 3 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 12 August 2026 to B & K Builders Limited for £114,259 including the stated currency of GBP. The planned contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 27 October 2026. The council’s original estimated procurement value was £120,000 GBP. The award is active, and the awarded contract covers the single requirement for the Ulverston Market Hall mechanical works. Evaluation details are not set out beyond the use of the selective framework call-off procedure.

For suppliers assessing future work from Westmorland and Furness Council, this award demonstrates demand for small-scale mechanical and building-services projects within the council’s corporate maintenance and decarbonisation programme. A credible competitor would need to deliver boiler replacement and installation, permanent boiler-array works, and the associated formation of a fire-rated plant compartment within an occupied or operational market-hall environment. Relevant construction delivery capability, coordination of mechanical services with fire-rated building work, and the capacity to complete a defined project for a public-sector client would be important. The selected supplier was an SME, and the requirement was also identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The route to market was a framework call-off, so framework access and experience of that procurement route would support future participation.
