UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured construction works for Inglewood Junior School on Arnside Road in Carlisle. The award title identifies replacement of the flat roof coverings. The associated project description also covers fire alarm replacement and upgrades, emergency lighting, defined general lighting replacements, external escape-route lighting, local rewiring and containment, and interfaces with door access, door hold-open devices, ventilation and remote monitoring. The works include fire stopping to penetrations, builders’ work, making good, testing and commissioning. This is a school-building refurbishment and electrical and life-safety systems project, classified as construction work. Delivery is in the Cumberland Council area of Cumbria, with the award’s delivery location recorded in the wider Cumbria area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 June 2026 to Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Limited. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the procurement method recorded as unknown, and was arranged as one completed lot. The award value is £570,308 excluding VAT, or £684,369.60 including VAT. The awarded period runs from 20 July 2026 to 1 September 2027. A contract was signed on 14 July 2026, with an active contract recorded for 20 July to 28 August 2026 at the same value. The contract is below the relevant threshold. The published information identifies construction work as the classification and records the selected supplier, but does not set out an evaluation weighting or separate award criteria.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Cumberland Council for substantial school refurbishment and construction work combining roofing, electrical installation and life-safety systems. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements would need the capability to coordinate several specialist disciplines in an occupied or operational education setting, including fire alarms, emergency lighting, general lighting, rewiring, containment, access-control interfaces, ventilation connections and remote monitoring. Credible delivery would also require builders’ work, fire stopping, making good, testing and commissioning, with the project managed as one integrated package. The appointed business is a large construction contractor, indicating that comparable competitors should be able to manage a sizeable public-sector school project, coordinate subcontractors and provide reliable completion and commissioning arrangements.
