Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "Netherhall School - Replacement External Doors and Windows" was conducted by Cumberland Council, a public authority in Carlisle, United Kingdom. The project involves the replacement of external windows and doors at Netherhall School in Maryport, to be carried out in three phases over three years, specifically during the school summer holidays from 2025 to 2027. The procurement was undertaken using an open method, under a below-threshold competition, and has reached the award stage. The project concluded with a contract awarded to THOMAS ARMSTRONG (CONSTRUCTION) LIMITED, and the contract is active since the signing date of 17th July 2025, with a completion date by the end of August 2027. The total contract value is £1,030,732.80 gross, executed primarily as construction work within the UKD1 region.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those in the construction industry, looking to expand their portfolio in public sector projects. The open competition method favours fair access to opportunities for a range of suppliers, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), although in this instance, the final award went to a large company. Companies capable of managing phased construction projects with a focus on maintaining educational continuity would find such contracts advantageous in building credibility and competence within the public sector. Potential bidders should ideally have experience in executing time-sensitive construction tasks aligned with educational calendars, underscoring the importance of timely and efficient project management.
