UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured an underwater repair works package for structures in the northern part of Cumberland, in the former Carlisle district. The requirement covers repair work beneath the waterline on five structures identified by the council, including Hallbankgate Culvert, Jeans Sike 2, Oakshaw Hill and Willy Beck. It is a public-sector construction and engineering services requirement, involving underwater works rather than general building maintenance. The work is associated with the Carlisle area and delivery in Cumbria. Businesses relevant to this requirement are specialist underwater repair contractors, marine engineering firms and construction or inspection businesses with the capability to work on public structures in aquatic environments. The council is the buyer and contracting authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It was organised as one lot. Cumberland Council awarded the contract to WETWORX MARINE SERVICES LTD, an SME, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026. Its delivery period runs from 27 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. The awarded value is £67,573.73 excluding VAT, or £81,088.48 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated within a limited-competition route, and the award covers the underwater repair works package for the identified structures. This is an awarded contract rather than an opportunity for new bids on the current requirement.

This award provides a clear indication of Cumberland Council’s demand for specialist underwater repair work on public structures in the Carlisle area. Competitors seeking similar work from this buyer would need practical capability in underwater repairs, marine operations and the associated construction, engineering or inspection services. They would also need enough operational capacity to manage work across several structures within a concentrated delivery programme, rather than a single isolated repair. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only a major national contractor. Firms with relevant marine infrastructure experience, suitable equipment and teams able to work safely around underwater structures would be well placed when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
