Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured electrical upgrade works at Brampton Primary School and Nursery on Sawmill Lane, Brampton, Cumbria. The scope covers replacement and upgrading of the fire alarm system, repair and upgrading of emergency lighting, defined general lighting replacements and new external emergency lighting for escape routes. It also includes local rewiring, containment changes and interfaces with door access, door hold-open devices, ventilation and remote monitoring. Associated works include fire stopping around penetrations, builders’ work, making good, testing and commissioning. This is a construction and building-services requirement delivered at an occupied education site in Brampton. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work sits within its Capital Works Framework for Cumberland, covering the framework’s first lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through the Capital Works Framework for Cumberland, using a below-threshold route. Roland Hill (Parsonby) Limited was awarded the single lot. The award was dated 14 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. Its value is £179,207 excluding VAT, or £207,848.40 including VAT. The contract and award are recorded as active. The evaluation basis and detailed selection requirements are set out through the framework arrangements rather than in the published process summary. The work was treated as construction work and was procured as a capital project for Brampton Primary School and Nursery.

This award demonstrates local authority demand for integrated electrical, fire-safety and building-services work in schools. A credible future competitor would need to deliver fire alarm replacement and upgrades alongside emergency and general lighting works, external escape-route lighting, rewiring and containment alterations. It would also need to manage interfaces with access-control equipment, door hold-open devices, ventilation and remote monitoring, while coordinating fire stopping, builders’ work and making good. Testing and commissioning capability is essential because the requirement combines installation with proving that interconnected life-safety and building systems operate correctly. Suppliers should be able to manage a defined works package in a primary school and nursery, coordinate specialist trades, and deliver compliant, safely commissioned construction work for Cumberland Council through the relevant capital works framework route.
