## Summary

Cumberland Council commissioned electrical and mechanical upgrade works at The Nelson Thomlinson School on High Street, Wigton, Cumbria. The scope covers an electrical rewire, including fire-alarm and intruder-alarm systems, broader mechanical and electrical upgrades, and flat-roof repairs to Block A. The work is classified as construction work and is delivered at the school in Wigton. The requirement is a coordinated building-services and fabric-upgrade project rather than a standalone supply contract, involving work in an operational education setting and planned activity during school holiday periods. It is relevant to contractors able to manage electrical, mechanical and roofing work within a single school improvement programme, including the sequencing and coordination of multiple trades.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method detail is “unknown”. One lot was awarded to ROLAND HILL (PARSONBY) LIMITED, an SME. The award is active and dated 17 July 2026. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 1 September 2027. Its value is £821,388.66 excluding VAT, or £985,666.39 including VAT. The contract covers the complete electrical, mechanical and roofing requirement described for Block A. The mechanical and electrical works were expected to take place over two summer break periods, in 2026 and 2027, allowing the school environment to be managed around holiday access.

This award demonstrates a substantial local requirement for integrated school refurbishment works combining electrical installation, alarm systems, mechanical and electrical building-services upgrades, and flat-roof repair. Competitors seeking similar work from Cumberland Council would need credible capability across these disciplines, or a reliable delivery model using specialist subcontractors, with the management capacity to coordinate them on one education-site project. Experience working in schools or comparable occupied public buildings would strengthen a future proposition, particularly where access must be planned around school holidays and different work packages must be sequenced across more than one break. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that businesses of this scale can compete for the council’s combined building-services and fabric works.
