Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured the construction of light industrial units at the Leconfield Industrial Estate in Cleator Moor. This is a construction works requirement, covering the delivery of new light industrial premises rather than a goods supply or consultancy service. The work is associated with the industrial estate in Cleator Moor, within Cumberland, England. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement was awarded through the Scape Framework, indicating that the project was sourced using an established public sector construction purchasing route. Businesses relevant to this requirement include main contractors and construction organisations able to deliver light industrial development works, including the associated building activities needed to complete units on an industrial estate.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award through the Scape Framework. Cumberland Council awarded the contract to Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd on 11 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £18,648,966. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 26 November 2027. The tender record gives a submission deadline of 30 June 2026 at 12:00. The procurement category is works, and the tender was marked complete when the award was recorded. The award is active. This is a single awarded requirement, with Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd named as the selected supplier.

This award shows a substantial requirement for light industrial unit construction from Cumberland Council, delivered through the Scape Framework and won by a large construction company. It is most relevant to established main contractors with the financial strength, project management capability, workforce and supply-chain capacity to deliver industrial building works for a public sector client. The opportunity also provides a clear benchmark for the type of supplier that secured this requirement: a large construction and infrastructure business able to undertake a sizeable, multi-stage development rather than a small standalone works package. Businesses seeking comparable future work from this buyer should be familiar with framework-based public procurement and able to demonstrate credible delivery of industrial construction projects.
