This project falls under the construction work industry category and is located in the UKD1 region of the United Kingdom. Initially announced in planning stages in July 2025, the project moved through tender and award stages, with Cumberland Council seeking specialist contractors for the task. A significant milestone was the awarding of the contract to Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Limited on 8th December 2025. The contract involved an open procurement method and was described as being below threshold through an open competition. The active contract, signed on 18th December 2025, began on 19th December 2025, concluding on 20th June 2026, with a gross value amount of GBP 2,405,252.40. This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, especially for firms specialised in large-scale demolition and land remediation services. Companies with expertise in managing sites with previous industrial use, contaminated areas, or those requiring significant site preparation and clearance will find this contract particularly suitable. Moreover, the open procurement process indicates an inclusive opportunity, although larger scale businesses, like the awarded supplier Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Limited, might be better positioned due to their capacity to handle complex, extensive projects. Those in the construction sector aiming to expand their portfolio by participating in public projects or seeking collaborations with government authorities like Cumberland Council could benefit greatly from such engagements. ## Notice The council is seeking to procure the services of an appropriate specialist contractor to finalise designs and deliver the demolition and remediation in accordance with the relevant regulations. This is a design and build contract to remediate sites at Oldside and the Port of Workington. The legacy of previous land uses needs to be addressed to achieve the output of remediated land (at Tank Farm, Tank Farm B and Oldsite sites, as outlined in the Scope) free of major contaminants and other inhibitors to development. Delivery Specifics and Logistics will be in line with the Scope, which will be delivered in two distinct stages: Stage 1: Design, development, consents, approvals Stage 2: Construction (the demolition and remediation) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042464-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | 5 Nov 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 8 Dec 2025 | | Contract period | 19 Dec 2025 - 20 Jun 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £280,000 | | Lots value | £280,000 | | Awards value | £2,004,377 | | Contracts value | £2,004,377 | ## 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 | THOMAS ARMSTRONG (CONSTRUCTION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45111000 - Demolition, site preparation and clearance work ## Release History - 8 May 2026 at 11:31 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042464-2026 - 8 Dec 2025 at 12:16 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080553-2025 - 9 Oct 2025 at 10:14 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/063607-2025 - 16 Jul 2025 at 14:09 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/040577-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042464-2026 8th May 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080553-2025 8th December 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/063607-2025 9th October 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/040577-2025 16th July 2025 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender - http://www.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.
