## Summary

Cumberland Council commissioned construction works at Robert Ferguson Primary in England to address damp remediation. The requirement covers repairs to the school’s boiler house brick chimney, including removing paint and repointing the brickwork. This is a building repair and maintenance project rather than a supply-only requirement, and is relevant to contractors experienced in masonry, chimney repair, brickwork restoration and associated remedial construction. The council is the buying organisation. The delivery location is recorded as England, while the buyer is based at Cumbria House in Carlisle. The work is classified as construction work and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Cumberland Council selected Michael Thompson Ltd on 15 June 2026. The awarded contract value is £93,620 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at 12:00. The procurement method is recorded as “Other”. The tender’s estimated value was also £93,620. The requirement was categorised as works and marked as suitable for SMEs. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. One supplier is identified as having received the award.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is a clear example of Cumberland Council’s demand for focused building remediation at an occupied education site. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical construction capability covering brick chimney repairs, paint removal, repointing and damp-related remedial work. Experience of diagnosing and correcting defects in existing masonry would be directly relevant, as would the ability to plan safe work around a school and its boiler-house environment. The successful supplier, Michael Thompson Ltd, is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller construction business rather than only a major contractor. The council’s recorded route was “Other”.
