Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured partial roof replacement works at Solway Community School under Lot 1 of its Capital Works Framework. The requirement is to over-roof Roofs 3, 9, 5 and 6, following the roof layout plan. The work is divided into two phases: the first covers Roofs 3 and 9, and the second covers Roofs 5 and 6. This is a construction project delivered for the council at the school site. It is relevant to roofing contractors and construction businesses with the capability to plan and carry out phased roof replacement works in an operational education setting, including coordinating work around school holiday periods and managing multiple roof areas.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure. Cumberland Council awarded the single lot to ROLAND HILL (PARSONBY) LIMITED on 17 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 18 July 2026 to 6 September 2027. Its value is £719,887 excluding VAT, or £863,864.40 including VAT. The contract covers the phased over-roofing works at Solway Community School, with the first phase scheduled from 20 July to 31 August 2026 and the second during the summer holidays in 2027. The successful award is recorded as active, while the overall procurement is complete.

This award demonstrates a substantial requirement for planned roofing and construction work in a school environment, delivered in distinct phases rather than as a single uninterrupted programme. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in over-roofing and partial roof replacement, with the capacity to manage several roof sections, interpret layout plans and sequence works across separate delivery periods. Experience of working around education settings would be valuable, particularly where construction activity must be coordinated with school operations and holiday access. The award also shows that Cumberland Council uses its Capital Works Framework for this type of requirement, making framework participation and the ability to deliver council construction contracts relevant commercial credentials for businesses targeting similar work.
