## Summary

Cumbria County Council has completed the procurement process for the "WEM - Lot 4 - Penrith Road Flood Alleviation" project, which falls under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category. The project, valued at approximately £1,259,913, involved constructing a new flood storage attenuation pond and a pumping station to protect 118 properties in Penrith. The contract was awarded to VBA JV Limited on 21 December 2018, with the contract period spanning from 7 January 2019 to 11 June 2019. This procurement was initiated through a tendering process under the EA Framework. The project location is within the North West region of the United Kingdom, with completion taking place in June 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in engineering and construction services, particularly those experienced in flood risk management and civil works. Businesses that can provide innovative solutions for flood alleviation, as well as effective project management and construction capabilities, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. Furthermore, partnerships or collaborations with local stakeholders could enhance competitiveness in upcoming projects within the region.

The scheme budget is funded by a combination of Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Grant in Aid (FCERM GIA), Local Levy, Cumbria County Council and Keswick Flood Action Group.
