UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council commissioned the internal conversion and adaptation of an existing residential property at The Stackyard in Burgh by Sands, Cumbria, into a four-bedroom children’s home. The redesigned layout provides three bedrooms for children and a staff sleep-in room, together with supporting accommodation for regulated residential care. This is a construction project involving the alteration of an existing building rather than a new-build scheme. The property is in Burgh by Sands; the award data places delivery in Cumbria. The requirement is therefore suited to construction firms with experience adapting residential buildings for children’s care and providing the supporting accommodation needed for a regulated care setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to WILLIAM KING CONSTRUCTION LTD. Cumberland Council used a below-threshold route; the method is recorded as unknown. There was one lot, covering the conversion and adaptation at The Stackyard. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026, with a period from 13 October to 18 December 2026. Its value is £340,835 excluding VAT (£409,002 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement data gives no award date or evaluation criteria, so the recorded outcome is the supplier selection and contract award rather than a stated scoring basis.

This award shows Cumberland Council buying construction work to convert an existing home into accommodation for regulated residential care, with a layout designed around children’s bedrooms, a staff sleep-in room and supporting facilities. A credible competitor for similar work would need the construction capability to adapt an existing residential property and coordinate the internal reconfiguration and associated accommodation as a complete project. Experience delivering premises for children’s residential care would be relevant to understanding the required use and operational layout. The selected company is recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller construction business was able to deliver this requirement; the project demonstrates a substantial, focused building-conversion commission rather than a broad facilities contract.
