UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council commissioned consultancy and advisory support for the Marina Village housing development in Barrow, Cumbria. The requirement covers business and professional consultancy services supporting the development, rather than construction works or the supply of physical goods. The procurement is focused on a single housing-development project and its associated advice needs. The work is delivered for the council in relation to Marina Village, Barrow. The selected service provider is CBRE Limited, a large consultancy business. This opportunity is therefore relevant to firms providing property, development, commercial, programme or related professional advisory services for public-sector housing projects, particularly those able to support a local authority’s development objectives in Cumbria.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Westmorland and Furness Council used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. CBRE Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 30 April 2026 and runs from 1 May 2026 to 1 November 2026. Its value is £60,000 excluding VAT and £72,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The published award information identifies business services, including consulting, under CPV 79000000. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available record does not state the individual scoring criteria or weightings. This outcome shows a short, defined consultancy engagement supporting the Marina Village housing development.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates that Westmorland and Furness Council purchases specialist consultancy support for a housing-development scheme in Barrow through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible future provider would need to offer practical advice that can support a local authority’s housing development, understand the commercial and delivery issues around a major development project, and work effectively with council stakeholders. Property and development consultancies, multidisciplinary advisory firms, and specialists able to combine commercial, strategic and project support are the closest fit. The award to CBRE Limited indicates that the buyer valued an established, substantial consultancy provider capable of delivering professional advice for a defined council development requirement.
