Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured construction works at Moor Row Junior School to replace defective pitched roof areas and resolve penetrative damp. The work includes removing the existing slate roof covering, installing felt and new slates, and reusing an estimated 30% of the existing slates. It also covers removing and replacing lime plaster affected by damp. The requirement is focused on the repair and renewal of the school’s building fabric rather than general maintenance or facilities management. Delivery is at Moor Row Junior School in Cumbria. The procurement is categorised as works, with construction work as the stated classification. It is relevant to roofing and building contractors able to manage slate-roof replacement alongside specialist damp remediation and associated plasterwork in an occupied school environment.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to ROLAND HILL (PARSONBY) LIMITED, a small or medium-sized enterprise. It was a below-threshold procurement, with the detailed procedure recorded as unknown. There was one completed lot. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 1 September 2027. Its value is £664,387 excluding tax and £797,264.40 including tax. The planned works are expected to take place over two summer break periods, in 2026 and 2027. The contract is active. The published outcome shows a single supplier for the full requirement, covering both the pitched-roof replacement and damp-resolution works at the school.

This award indicates demand from Cumberland Council for substantial school-building fabric works combining traditional roofing and conservation-style damp repairs. A credible future competitor would need practical experience removing defective slate coverings, installing felt and new slates, and selectively reusing existing slates. It would also need capability in diagnosing and resolving penetrative damp, removing lime plaster and applying suitable replacement lime plaster. The requirement favours a contractor able to coordinate several linked trades, manage quality and safety in a school setting, and plan disruptive work around school operations and holiday access. Relevant businesses are established roofing or main building contractors with sufficient capacity for a sizeable, multi-phase education project and the project-management ability to deliver the roof and damp elements as one coordinated package.
