Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council procured essential maintenance works to support the Abbey Road Active Travel Scheme. The requirement is categorised as construction work and concerns physical works delivered alongside an active travel project. The council is the public-sector buyer and the contractor is responsible for carrying out the maintenance element of the scheme. The procurement covers one consolidated requirement rather than separate packages. The work is associated with the council’s area in Cumbria, with the buyer based in Kendal. This opportunity is therefore relevant to construction businesses with experience of maintenance works connected with highways, streets, active travel infrastructure or similar public-realm schemes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One bid was received and one bid reached the final stage. Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Limited was awarded the contract on 10 August 2026. The awarded value is £106,931.20 excluding VAT, or £133,664 including VAT. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 12 August 2026 to 21 September 2026. The process comprised one lot, which was completed. The contract is for works rather than goods or services. The evaluation basis is not set out in the available procurement details. The selected supplier is a large construction company, and the award was below the applicable threshold.

For a competing supplier, this award provides a clear indication that Westmorland and Furness Council buys relatively short-duration construction maintenance packages to support active travel schemes. A credible future competitor would need to deliver practical construction and maintenance works in a public-realm or highways environment, coordinate with an active travel project and complete work within a defined delivery window. Relevant experience of working for local authorities, managing site activities safely and reliably, and maintaining quality on small, focused works packages would strengthen a supplier’s position. The previous route was a limited competition, so businesses should be capable of responding efficiently to targeted procurement approaches and demonstrating that they can mobilise for comparable council requirements.
