UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured construction works to replace the existing felt roof system at Belle Vue Primary. The requirement covers the school site and involves installing a new proprietary three-ply built-up roofing system. This is a building refurbishment project focused on roofing rather than general facilities management or routine maintenance. The named buyer is Cumberland Council, based in Carlisle. The procurement’s classification is construction work. The work is planned around the school calendar, with activity across the school site rather than at a council office or residential setting. Businesses should therefore be established roofing or construction contractors with the practical capability to undertake substantial school premises works and manage delivery in an occupied education environment.

The procurement is complete and one lot was awarded. TOP NOTCH CONTRACTORS LIMITED, a Carlisle-based SME, was selected. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 27 August 2027. Its value is £694,331 excluding VAT, or £833,197.20 including VAT. The works are expected to take place over the 2026 and 2027 summer breaks. The procurement was below threshold, using a method described as unknown. The contract is active, while the tender is complete. The award covers construction work for the roof replacement at Belle Vue Primary. This outcome identifies a single appointed supplier for the full requirement rather than separate suppliers for multiple lots.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Cumberland Council for sizeable school roofing works delivered as a planned refurbishment project. Competitors seeking similar work would need experience replacing felt roof systems with proprietary three-ply built-up roofing systems, together with the construction management capability to work across a school site. Credibility would also depend on coordinating phased delivery around school holiday access, maintaining safe working arrangements on education premises and completing work over more than one seasonal shutdown. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that a specialist small or medium-sized roofing or construction business can be suitable for this scale of council requirement. Relevant firms should be able to evidence comparable roofing projects, competent site management and capacity for a substantial single-site programme.
