Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council is seeking one professional services provider to support its Prioritised Capital Maintenance Programme for corporate properties. The service covers the development, design, procurement and delivery of condition-led maintenance and improvement projects across the Council’s corporate property portfolio in Cumbria. The appointed consultant must provide architectural services, building surveying, mechanical and electrical engineering, structural engineering and quantity surveying. Projects will be planned individually, taking account of each property’s operational requirements and, where necessary, proposing delivery arrangements that minimise disruption to building users and public services. The full range of services may be delivered by an in-house team or by using trusted partners to supplement the core team. This is a services opportunity for a multidisciplinary property and capital works consultancy.

The procurement has reached tender: Cumberland Council invited offers through an open procedure. It comprises a single lot. Potential suppliers could send enquiries until 2 October 2026 at 12:00, and bids were due by 16 October 2026 at 12:00. The stated evaluation and award period ended on 30 October 2026. The contract period is 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2028. The estimated value is £200,000 excluding VAT, or £240,000 including VAT. Offers are evaluated on quality at 60%, social value at 20% and price at 20%. Electronic submission is allowed, and submissions must be in English. The opportunity is identified as architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services.

This opportunity suits a multidisciplinary consultancy able to bring together architectural design, building surveying, mechanical and electrical engineering, structural engineering and quantity surveying expertise. A supplier should be capable of taking projects from condition assessment and development through design, procurement and delivery, rather than providing only a single technical discipline. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, including organisations that can assemble the full capability through trusted delivery partners. Strong project management and coordination skills will be important across a varied corporate property portfolio, as will the ability to plan works around operational buildings and minimise disruption to users and service delivery. Suppliers should also be prepared to meet statutory obligations and participate in the Council’s diversity-related supplier audits.
