## Summary

The procurement process involves the Cumbria Constabulary - Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner, which is overseeing the construction of the "Penrith Deployment Centre and Hostel". This project falls under the construction industry category and is located in Penrith, Cumbria. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with a contract value of £4,800,000 awarded to Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Ltd. The construction work is set to commence on 23 March 2018 and will conclude by 23 March 2020. The procurement was executed through a selective method, specifically a restricted procedure, and the tendering period ended on 26 May 2017.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for construction firms looking to expand their portfolio, particularly those with expertise in large-scale projects and public sector works. Businesses that focus on construction management, civil engineering, or related services, especially SMEs, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. Moreover, the strategic location of the development suggests potential for other contracts related to infrastructure and community services in the area, encouraging local participation in future projects.

## Notice

It is proposed to develop an area of land, on the edge of the Police HQ estate, known as "The Green". Currently occupied by old police houses, these buildings provide hostel and office accommodation for the Constabulary. 'The Green' is adjacent to Kemplay Roundabout, in a key strategic location between the main Police HQ complex and the Fire and Rescue HQ building. The proposed development will result in the demolition of these ex-isting buildings, making way for a new operational police base Penrith Deployment Centre (PDC) with Conferecing/Meeting Facilities and a 20 Bed Hostel block.
