## Summary

The public procurement process involves Westmorland and Furness Council, located at South Lakeland House, Kendal, United Kingdom, in the UKD12 region. The council embarked on a tender process for repair works at the Grade II listed Thorncliffe Cemetery Gatehouse and the former Roman Catholic Chapel in Barrow-in-Furness. This procurement falls under the construction work category with a tender value of £600,000 and follows an open procurement method, below threshold. The tender phase was active as of 30th September 2025, with submissions required by 28th October 2025. The tender was later cancelled, marked as complete on 27th April 2026. The procurement focused on structural repairs including roofs, timbers, drainage, and masonry, highlighting key details necessary for contractors specialising in these areas.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for construction firms, particularly those adept in heritage restoration and structural repairs. As the project was situated in Barrow-in-Furness, local and regional businesses with relevant expertise had the advantage of proximity, potentially reducing transportation costs and enhancing site accessibility. The council specifically sought bids from SMEs, providing a competitive edge for smaller enterprises aiming to secure public sector contracts. This type of procurement suits firms with experience in handling complex restoration work, ensuring high-quality technical and qualitative submissions given the weight of award criteria favouring quality over price. The project would have spanned from February to November 2026, offering sustained engagement for qualified businesses.
