## Summary

Cumberland Council, a sub-central government authority located at Cumbria House in Carlisle, has completed a public procurement process for the design and construction of a new concrete skate park at Hammond's Pond, Upperby, Carlisle. This initiative, part of the 'Start with the Park' project funded by the Carlisle Town Deal, involves site enabling works, groundworks, and specialist construction within a public park. Following an open, below-threshold competition procurement method, the contract was awarded to Canvas Spaces Limited, a Bristol-based SME, with the contract period set from 23 August 2025 to 24 August 2026. The contract, valued at £149,760 gross, was officially signed on 22 August 2025.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for SMEs specialising in construction and civil works, as it encompasses specialist services such as skate park construction and public space development. The project aligns with objectives to enhance green spaces and supports active travel, indicating potential for future similar projects. Businesses experienced in working within active public environments, capable of risk mitigation and minimal land damage, would be well-suited to compete in such tenders, fostering opportunities to increase their portfolio and market presence within the construction industry.
