Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured technical consultancy and project management services for the remediation of the Port of Workington’s two mitre dock gates in Cumbria. The requirement covers maintenance and upgrades to the gates and has two phases: preparing the technical specification and supporting the tendering of the subsequent remedial works, followed by full project management for delivery of those works. This is an engineering, construction and inspection consultancy service, classified under CPV 71000000. The work is delivered at the Port of Workington in England. The council is the buying organisation and public authority responsible for the procurement. The requirement is relevant to firms able to combine technical engineering consultancy with procurement support and project management for port, marine or comparable infrastructure remediation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to HASKONING UK LIMITED on 8 May 2026. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and is active from 16 July 2026 to 15 July 2028, with a possible extension of up to one year subject to successful outcomes and further funding. The awarded value is £150,680 excluding VAT, or £180,816 including VAT. The original estimated value was £250,000 excluding VAT, or £300,000 including VAT. There was one lot, and three bids reached the final stage, including two from SMEs. The open procedure was evaluated on quality at 50%, price at 40% and social value at 10%. The contract is above the relevant threshold.

This award demonstrates Cumberland Council’s demand for specialist support combining technical specification development, assistance with works tendering and end-to-end project management for port infrastructure remediation. A credible future competitor would need experienced engineering and construction consultants able to assess and design maintenance or upgrade solutions for marine assets, produce clear technical specifications and support a subsequent works procurement. It would also need project managers capable of controlling remedial works through delivery, coordinating contractors and maintaining governance for a public-sector client. The evaluation gives quality greater importance than price and includes a distinct social-value element, so suppliers should be able to evidence strong delivery methods, relevant infrastructure experience and practical social-value commitments. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, although the award went to a large engineering consultancy.
