The procurement process managed by Westmorland and Furness Council has reached the award stage for the Provision of Professional Services 2026-2030. This involves a closed framework for delivering multi-disciplinary services across three lots: Property, Civils and Infrastructure, and Planning, Growth and Sustainability. The process follows an open procedure under the new Public Procurement Act 2023. This tender was conducted in the United Kingdom, specifically in the region of Westmorland and Furness (UKD12), with key delivery partners located there. The contract period is set from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030, reflecting a substantial investment in services valued at £14,400,000.

The tender provides substantial business growth opportunities for a variety of professional service providers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services are particularly well-positioned to compete, along with larger firms. This framework encourages a competitive approach, allowing a diverse range of participants to contribute to infrastructural and environmental enhancements in Westmorland and Furness.
