Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council procured remedial works to existing external wall insulation and associated building installation work at a terrace of residential properties near Barrow town centre. The main scope was replacement of the external wall insulation on the front elevation. The requirement is classified as works and covers construction and building installation activity rather than consultancy, routine maintenance or supply-only services. Delivery is in the Barrow area of Cumbria. The council is the public-sector buyer and end user. This opportunity is relevant to contractors with experience diagnosing and correcting defects in external wall insulation systems, carrying out façade or envelope works, and managing associated construction activity on occupied or residential properties.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender submission deadline was 26 June 2026 at 2pm. One lot was awarded to FLOWING CONSTRUCTION SERVICES LIMITED on 31 July 2026. The award value was £333,589.76 including the stated gross amount. The awarded contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 27 November 2026. Evaluation was based on technical and qualitative criteria weighted at 60%, with commercial criteria weighted at 40%. Five bids were received and all five final-stage bidders were SMEs; none were VCSEs. Electronic submission was allowed. The original estimated lot value was £350,000 excluding VAT, or £420,000 including VAT.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Westmorland and Furness Council for specialist remedial external wall insulation and associated façade works on residential properties near Barrow. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in external wall insulation replacement, building envelope repairs and related installation work, with the site management skills to deliver construction works on a terrace of homes. The successful requirement was competed by SMEs, and all five final-stage bidders were SMEs, indicating that the scale and route can suit established smaller contractors rather than only major national firms. Relevant evidence would include comparable residential remedial projects, competent construction supervision, quality control, and the capacity to coordinate materials, trades and reinstatement across a defined works programme.
