## Summary

Cumberland Council has concluded the procurement process for architectural services focusing on the replacement of cremators and associated work at Carlisle Crematorium. The project falls under the industry category of architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, with a total value of GBP 218,000.25. The procurement method categorised under 'Other' has reached the award stage, with contracts set to commence on 12 May 2025 and conclude on 27 June 2025. The project's location is in Carlisle, United Kingdom, and the tender period ended on 4 April 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the architectural and engineering sectors, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in consulting and development services for public infrastructure. With Cumberland Council as the buying authority, further contract phases could potentially open up more avenues for businesses adept in handling RIBA stages 2 to 7. SMEs like Architects Plus (UK) Ltd, which has already been awarded the contract, exemplify potential participants who are well-suited to compete and grow through such local government projects.

## Notice

Cumberland Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified Framework Partner to work with the Council to produce an options appraisal for the replacement cremators and improvement works at Carlisle Crematorium. Subject to acceptance of an options appraisal and availability of respective funding the project will move on to RIBA Stages 2 to 4 and then, again subject to further funding and governance approvals to stages 5 to 7.
