## Summary

Cumberland Council procured training services to upskill learners in air-source heat pump installation, under a Skills Boot Camp call-off. The requirement is for training rather than the supply or installation of heat pumps. Delivery is in England. This is a service opportunity for providers able to deliver practical, relevant training in air-source heat pump installation and support learners to develop skills in this area.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The Gas Rooms Ltd. The award was made on 15 October 2026, with an awarded value of £45,000. The recorded contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 30 September 2027. The council used an open procedure. The original tender response deadline was 21 September 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available information does not set out a scored evaluation basis or divide the requirement into separately described lots.

The award shows that Cumberland Council buys focused skills training in air-source heat pump installation through a Skills Boot Camp call-off. The selected supplier was a small business, indicating that this requirement was delivered by an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large training group. Suppliers positioning for a similar requirement should be able to deliver relevant technical training and demonstrate that their provision can meet the council’s upskilling purpose. The scale is a discrete, single-provider training contract, so providers with the capacity to deliver a defined programme would be more directly aligned than businesses focused solely on equipment supply or installation work. The opportunity is relevant to training organisations with practical expertise in heat pump installation.
