Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured the manufacture and delivery of wayfinding roundels for Hammonds Pond in Carlisle. This is a goods requirement covering public signage and sign posts, intended to help people find their way around the pond and its surroundings. The work is centred on producing the roundels and delivering them for use at the Carlisle site. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers and specialist suppliers of outdoor wayfinding, directional signage, sign systems and related public-realm products. It may also suit businesses that combine signage production with delivery and supply-chain coordination for local authority or other public-realm projects.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to HARDSCAPE PRODUCTS LIMITED, an SME. The award covers the single lot and has an active contract. The contract was signed on 10 June 2026, with a contract period from 22 June 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £25,852 excluding VAT, or £31,022 including VAT. The procurement was conducted as a below-threshold tender, with the recorded method described as unknown. The award is for signage and sign posts, including delivery to the United Kingdom. The award date itself is not stated, but the selected supplier and contract outcome are recorded.

This completed contract demonstrates Cumberland Council’s demand for manufactured wayfinding products for a named public-realm location, rather than general consultancy or installation services. Suppliers best placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns will be those with in-house or closely controlled production of durable outdoor signage, experience creating directional or interpretive sign systems, and the ability to deliver finished products to a council site. Credibility would come from showing relevant public-space or landscape-project work, consistent product quality, dependable order fulfilment and suitable logistics. SMEs can be relevant to this type of requirement, as the selected supplier was an SME. The opportunity indicates a focused, single-site supply requirement rather than a broad multi-service programme.
