## Summary

Westmorland and Furness Council has completed a procurement process for the installation of a new L1 fire alarm system at The Lakes School. The contracting process, tagged as 'award,' reached a status of completion with contracts being awarded on 27th January 2025, and the work is expected to occur from 31st March to 4th July 2025. The project, valued at approximately £359,873, falls under the construction industry category and is situated in England, United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted using a bespoke method detailed as "Other," favouring SMEs as suitable contenders.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for construction firms, particularly those that specialise in fire alarm installation and have experience working within educational environments. The phased nature of the installation, designed to occur outside of school hours, may particularly appeal to businesses with the capacity to manage flexible working arrangements. While Cubby Construction, a large company, has secured the contract, similar businesses capable of delivering quality construction work within specified timelines and budgets would be well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature. SMEs are especially encouraged, as they were deemed suitable for this procurement process.
