UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council commissioned building works to convert a newly built residential property at Station Hill, Wigton, Cumbria, into a four-bedroom children’s residential care home. The internal layout was reconfigured to provide three children’s bedrooms, a staff sleep-in room and accommodation needed for regulated residential care. The works included new internal partitions, compliant fire doors, mechanical and electrical service upgrades, a staff office, decoration and flooring. External works covered minor patio adjustments and the installation of a shed and pergola. This is a construction project delivered in Wigton, within Cumberland Council’s area, and is relevant to contractors able to manage coordinated refurbishment, building services and compliance works in a care setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Michael Thompson (Public Works Contractors and Engineers) Limited, a Carlisle-based SME. The award date and contract signing date were 13 August 2026. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 13 August 2026. The awarded value is £206,188.13 excluding VAT, or £247,425.75 including VAT. It covered one lot. Cumberland Council used a selective, competitive procedure, described as a below-threshold award under a framework. The requirement was awarded through the related framework rather than as an open standalone tender. The selected supplier is recorded against construction work, classified under CPV 45000000.

This award indicates demand from Cumberland Council for small to medium construction contractors able to deliver sensitive refurbishment projects for children’s residential care. A credible competitor would need experience coordinating internal alterations, partitions, fire-door installation, mechanical and electrical upgrades, office and ancillary accommodation, decoration and flooring. The external elements also require practical capability in minor patio changes and the installation of garden structures such as sheds and pergolas. The project suits a principal contractor able to manage varied building trades, sequencing and compliance requirements within an occupied or care-related residential context. The successful supplier’s SME status shows that this scale and type of council works can be delivered by an established specialist contractor without requiring a large national construction business.
