## Summary

Cumberland Council has completed an open procurement process for the "Maintenance and Engineering Services at the Port of Workington," located in Carlisle, United Kingdom. The public procurement, following an open procedure, aimed to provide comprehensive servicing and maintenance of all plant, machinery, infrastructure, and installations at the port. This includes a 24/7 emergency repair callout service. The contract was awarded to Fluid Force Engineering and is set to run from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2026, with the possibility of a 12-month extension depending on contract performance. The total contract value, including any extension, is estimated at £360,000 gross.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in repair and maintenance services, or those involved in miscellaneous and mechanical engineering services. The open procedure and clear criteria for award, including factors like price and quality, ensure that qualified businesses have a fair chance to compete, while the 24/7 service requirement could be particularly appealing to companies with robust operational capabilities. SMEs capable of delivering high-quality engineering and maintenance services and providing reliable after-hours support would be well-suited to engage with such tenders in the future.
