Summary of the contracting process

Cumbria Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority commissioned remedial repairs to garage doors and station access gates, to resolve and rectify identified faults. This is repair and maintenance work for a fire and rescue service, covering both garage doors and access gates at its stations. The buying organisation is Cumbria Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority, based in Penrith. The work is for delivery in the United Kingdom; the published location is not narrowed to a particular town or station. The requirement concerns fixing existing door and gate problems rather than supplying a new fleet or undertaking general building works. Suppliers focused on commercial or industrial door and gate repairs, including access systems used at operational sites, will recognise the core service involved.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Celsius Engineering Services Limited. The authority used a direct award below the public procurement threshold, without competition. The single lot was completed. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026, with a period running from 28 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £39,042.13 excluding VAT and £46,850.56 including VAT. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is recorded as active. The published procurement data does not provide a separate award date or an evaluation score or criteria; the recorded route was a non-competitive direct award rather than a comparison of bids.

This award shows that Cumbria Commissioner Fire and Rescue Authority buys remedial maintenance for garage doors and station access gates, and that the requirement was placed through a below-threshold direct award without competition. A credible future supplier would need to diagnose and rectify faults across both door and gate equipment, and deliver repairs at fire and rescue stations. Experience maintaining commercial or industrial doors and access gates, practical repair capability, and the capacity to attend operational sites would be directly relevant. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized engineering services business, indicating that this scale of requirement was delivered by an SME. The contract therefore provides a concrete example of the buyer's demand for focused remedial work rather than a large-scale installation programme.
