Initiated through an open procedure, this tender falls under the services industry category, specifically covering architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. The tender process concluded with the award contract being signed on 18th November 2025, with a project timeline starting from 24th November 2025 and expected completion by 31st March 2027. The contract, valued at £823,805 with a gross amount of £988,566, allows for a possible extension of 6 months, with the possibility of completing extensions by the end of September 2027. This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises, particularly those specialising in surveying and valuation services, to contribute to the strategic asset management goals of a local government entity. Companies with expertise in construction methodologies, data analysis for retention and disposal decision-making, or monitoring environmental materials would find this contract particularly aligned with their capabilities. Participation in such public sector projects can enhance business portfolios, expand networks within government sectors, and anchor long-term growth by aligning with Cumberland Council's ongoing maintenance and development initiatives. ## Notice The condition survey data is required to enable Cumberland Council to develop a prioritised programme of planned maintenance for their properties. The survey data shall also be used to inform and enable Cumberland Council's strategic asset management objectives supporting decisions relating to retention, disposal and investment. Additionally, the surveys will seek to identify where deleterious materials have been used within the portfolio so that their condition can be monitored. The specialist surveys relate to five sites where specific construction methods are known to exist, and these construction methods have been known to fail historically. These additional surveys seek to ensure the construction methods and components are not failing in these properties. There is a requirement also under work stream, for the surveying consultants to provide 'Reinstatement Valuations' so that this data can be provided to our insurers. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: At Cumberland Councils Discretion, the contract period may be extended by up to 6 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/085642-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Dec 2025 | | Submission deadline | 8 Aug 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 Oct 2025 | | Contract period | 24 Nov 2025 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,000,000 | | Lots value | £1,000,000 | | Awards value | £823,805 | | Contracts value | £823,805 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CUMBERLAND COUNCIL | | Locality | CARLISLE | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA1 1RD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD13 Cumberland | | Local authority | Cumberland | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Carlisle | | Delivery location | TLD1 Cumbria | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | OAKLEAF SURVEYING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 23 Dec 2025 at 09:14 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/085642-2025 - 20 Oct 2025 at 12:48 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/066725-2025 - 4 Jul 2025 at 12:14 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037435-2025 - 26 Jun 2025 at 16:26 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035554-2025 - 20 Jun 2025 at 10:33 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034005-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/085642-2025 23rd December 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/066725-2025 20th October 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037435-2025 4th July 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035554-2025 26th June 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/034005-2025 20th June 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - http://the-chest.org.uk Suppliers wishing to express an interest and obtain access to the tender documents should go to www.the-chest.org.uk and click on current opportunities from the navigation area on the left of the screen.
