UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Westmorland and Furness Council focuses on the Voreda House Remedial Works in Penrith, required after a water escape event in November 2025. This project falls under the 'works' category, specifically plumbing and drain-laying. The Council, classified as a sub-central government public authority, executed a direct award due to the supplier's knowledge of the property and the urgency of reoccupying the space. The contracted work started on 23 March 2026 and is expected to conclude by 1 May 2026. The project was awarded on 27 February 2026, with an estimated contract value of £356,428.12 (gross amount £427,713.74), and the current status is complete.

This contract provides significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in remedial works, plumbing, and drainage services. Companies with expertise in rapid mobilization and familiarity with similar projects will find this procurement opportunity fitting, especially given the urgency-driven, direct award method. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering on tight deadlines and those interested in public sector work in the UKD12 region could significantly benefit from these types of contracts.
