UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council commissioned building conversion and adaptation work to turn a newly built residential property at Station Hill, Wigton, into a four-bedroom children’s residential care home. The revised layout provides three children’s bedrooms and a staff sleep-in room, with supporting accommodation for regulated residential care. Internal works include new partitions, compliant fire doors, mechanical and electrical service upgrades, a staff office, decoration and flooring. External work involves minor patio adjustments and adding a shed and pergola. The project is construction work, delivered in Wigton, Cumbria. It was procured through the Capital Works Framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Michael Thompson (Public Works Contractors and Engineers) Limited. The council used a competitive, selective process to award under its framework, below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 30 September to 4 December 2026. Its value is £206,188.13 excluding VAT (£247,425.75 including VAT). The requirement was treated as one lot, and the award covers the conversion of the Wigton property into a children’s residential care home. The award is active and the contract is active.

This award shows Cumberland Council’s demand for building contractors able to adapt newly built residential properties for regulated children’s care. A credible competitor would need to deliver internal reconfiguration, compliant fire-door installation, mechanical and electrical upgrades, and the finishing work, while accommodating a staff office and sleep-in room. The scope also calls for modest external alterations, including patio changes and installation of a shed and pergola. Suppliers should be capable of coordinating these trades as a single construction project and working within the council’s Capital Works Framework route. The successful contractor is a small or medium-sized business, demonstrating that a supplier of this scale can undertake the requirement.
