Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council has completed a procurement process for the "Cumberland Sport Village - Design Services" project, focusing on Landscape, Ecology, and Biodiversity Net Gain within the architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services industry. The contract, procured directly without competition due to being below threshold, has been awarded to WARDELL ARMSTRONG LLP. The tender was finalized in the Award stage on 30th June 2026, with the service delivery commencing on 17th June 2026 and concluding on 31st May 2027. The project's location is within the region of UKD1 in the United Kingdom, and it operates under the legal framework provided by the UK Public General Acts.
