## Summary

Westmorland and Furness Council commissioned a feasibility exercise for the Monkswell Repurposing Project in Kendal. The work examines modifications to Monkswell, Anchorite Fields, to increase the number of self-contained one-bedroom units and make good dilapidations, so the building can be used immediately as temporary accommodation for people experiencing homelessness. The exercise is intended to inform a further funding bid for the building works; those works are not the scope of this commission. The procurement is classified as works, although its stated deliverable is a feasibility exercise. Delivery is in Kendal, England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Farrell and Clark on 31 March 2026. The awarded value is £32,305. The contract period runs from 11 to 20 July 2026. The estimated procurement value was also £32,305. The requirement was procured as a call-off from a framework. The response deadline was 17 March 2026 at 12:00. It is identified as Lot 1A, with no separate lot-level scope or value stated. The available award information does not set out the evaluation criteria or any eligibility requirements, so the basis on which the successful supplier was selected cannot be described further.

This commission shows demand from Westmorland and Furness Council for feasibility work that assesses how an existing property can be adapted for temporary homelessness accommodation. A supplier competing for a similar requirement would need to assess building modifications, the potential to increase self-contained one-bedroom capacity, and the work needed to remedy dilapidations for immediate use. The study must also produce findings that can support a subsequent funding bid for construction works. The award went to Farrell and Clark, an SME, demonstrating that a small business was selected for this commission. The route was a call-off from a framework, so relevant suppliers would need access to an applicable framework as well as the property and feasibility expertise to deliver this focused assessment.
