The project covers the design and reconstruction of approximately 7 metres of damaged retaining wall, together with masonry repairs, including localised patch repairs and partial rebuilding of further collapsed sections. It also includes vegetation removal and localised scour repairs. The work is intended to address damage affecting highway infrastructure and associated river-side structures. This is a civil engineering and construction requirement, classified under CPV 45000000. Delivery is at Old Row, Stainton, within the council’s area in the North West of England, and involves work in or beside a river environment. The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a call-off from a framework. The tender submission deadline was 4 September 2026 at 12:00, and the contract was awarded on 14 September 2026 to Metcalfe Plant Hire Ltd. The awarded value is £83,243.93 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 16 June 2027 to 20 September 2027. Construction is planned for the 2027 summer in-river working window, subject to the required environmental permits. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Westmorland and Furness Council is the buying organisation, and the award covers the retaining-wall reconstruction, associated masonry repairs, vegetation removal and scour-repair works described above. For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to combine civil engineering and construction capability with practical experience of highway retaining walls and masonry repair. Relevant delivery strength would include designing and rebuilding damaged wall sections, carrying out controlled partial reconstruction, repairing localised scour and removing vegetation around infrastructure. Contractors should be able to plan and manage works in a river setting, coordinate environmental permitting and work within a restricted in-river construction window. The requirement is well suited to an SME with the plant, site supervision and specialist workforce needed for a small but technically sensitive infrastructure project. Experience working for local authorities, managing highway interfaces and delivering safe works near water would strengthen a competitor’s position when this buyer next tests the market. ## Notice This project is primarily for the design and reconstruction of approximately 7m length of damaged highway retaining wall. The works also include masonry repairs, comprising localised patch repairs and the partial rebuild of additional collapsed sections. The scope further includes vegetation removal and localised scour repairs. Construction works to be completed during the 2027 summer in-river working window, subject to obtaining all required environmental permits. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0067c065-6499-4aec-b9ef-0f81ad76d234 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Call off from a Framework | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Sep 2026 | | Contract period | 16 Jun 2027 - 20 Sep 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £83,243 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £83,243 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Westmorland and Furness Council | | Locality | KENDAL | | Postcode area | Lancaster | | Postcode | LA9 4DQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD14 Westmorland and Furness | | Local authority | Westmorland and Furness | | Electoral ward | Kendal Strickland and Fell | | Westminster constituency | Westmorland and Lonsdale | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | METCALFE PLANT HIRE LTD | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 18 Sep 2026 at 13:48 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0067c065-6499-4aec-b9ef-0f81ad76d234 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0067c065-6499-4aec-b9ef-0f81ad76d234 18th September 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
