Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council recently completed a procurement process for the "Inspections of Rock Slopes 2025 - 2026," focusing on the inspection of rock faces along the highway network. This process falls under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category. The procurement method was limited competition, aimed at below-threshold contracts. The award, now active, marks the contract beginning on 8th September 2025, and it will conclude on 30th January 2026. Located in the UKD12 region, primarily Kendal, the project has a gross value of £30,775.20. The contract was signed on 28th July 2025, linking with supplier WATERMAN INFRASTRUCTURE & ENVIRONMENT LIMITED based in London.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in engineering and inspection services, especially those proficient in geographical surveys and maintenance prioritisation.

Such contracts allow businesses to leverage their expertise, improve local infrastructure through precise maintenance, and potentially expand their service offerings within the public sector.
