UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council commissioned additional professional services for the Carlisle Masterplan Project. The requirement falls within construction consultancy services and supports the council’s wider masterplanning work in Carlisle. This is a public-sector professional services opportunity rather than a construction delivery contract: relevant businesses would be expected to provide consultancy input connected with planning, development or construction-related masterplan activity. The named buying organisation is Cumberland Council, based in Carlisle. The requirement was arranged as a single package covering the additional services for the masterplan project, with the work associated with the Carlisle area. It is relevant to consultancies that advise public authorities on masterplanning and construction-related development, particularly those able to support a local authority project through professional technical advice and related consultancy services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a below-threshold tender procedure. It used one lot, which is complete. Mott MacDonald Limited was selected as the supplier, with the award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 8 June 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 30 March 2027. Its value is £76,237 excluding VAT, or £91,484.40 including VAT. The award covers construction consultancy services for the Carlisle Masterplan. The contracting process was evaluated through a below-threshold route, with the procurement method recorded as unknown. This is an awarded outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid, and the named supplier is a large organisation. The contract is below the applicable threshold.

This award shows Cumberland Council’s demand for additional professional consultancy support within a masterplanning project, focused on construction-related advice and the Carlisle area. A competitor seeking similar work would need credible experience delivering professional services for public-sector masterplans and development programmes, with the technical capability to advise on construction or infrastructure considerations as part of a wider planning project. The successful supplier’s profile indicates that the requirement can suit a large, established consultancy with the capacity to provide specialist input and manage a defined package of additional services. Smaller firms may be relevant where they can demonstrate equivalent technical expertise, reliable delivery capacity and experience working with local authorities, either directly or as a specialist partner to a larger consultancy.
