Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council has awarded a contract for Archive Consultancy Specialist services, with the project focusing on the relocation of the Kendal Archive Service from Kendal County Hall and developing a new operational model for the archive and wider heritage sector in Kendal. The contract was awarded on 29th May 2026, following a tender process initiated by the council, a sub-central government public authority based in Kendal. The procurement process employed a limited competition method due to its below-threshold nature, with the tender status now marked as complete. The consultancy services fall under the 'General management consultancy services' classification (CPV code 79411000), and the contract period spans from 30th May 2026 to 30th September 2026.

The tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in heritage consultancy and archival relocation, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Janice Tullock Associates Limited, a Liverpool-based SME, successfully secured the contract, underlining potential growth opportunities for similar firms that are adept in specialised consultancy services and can contribute innovative solutions to public authority initiatives. Such contracts can enhance a company's portfolio and reputation, particularly those proficient in interfacing with public sector organisations and navigating limited competition procurement processes.
