## Summary

Cumberland Council commissioned Phase 2 remedial works at Durranhill Viaduct on the C76/C1045 route. The requirement is a construction contract covering the viaduct remedial scheme, including elements designed by the contractor. The work is classified as construction work and is being delivered in Cumberland, around the Durranhill and Carlisle area. This is a civil engineering and structural repair opportunity for contractors able to plan and deliver infrastructure remediation, manage contractor-designed works and coordinate construction activities on an existing viaduct. The council is the public-sector buyer and the procurement concerns a single, complete requirement rather than a series of separately awarded packages. The selected supplier is Metcalfe Plant Hire Limited, based in Penrith.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a competitive selective route, with the contract awarded below the applicable threshold under an existing framework. One lot was completed and awarded to Metcalfe Plant Hire Limited. The contract was signed on 15 August 2026, runs from 17 August 2026 to 18 December 2026, and is active. Its value is £495,314.80 excluding VAT, or £594,377.76 including VAT. The award is for the full Phase 2 remedial works requirement. Evaluation was conducted through the competitive framework award process; the published information identifies the route and contractor-designed scope rather than separate scoring weightings or individual evaluation criteria.

This procurement shows demand from Cumberland Council for substantial, short-duration remedial construction on an existing viaduct, with design responsibility shared with or transferred to the contractor for defined elements. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need credible civil engineering and structural repair capability, along with the plant, site management and workforce capacity to deliver a complete infrastructure package. Experience working safely around live or existing transport infrastructure would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to develop buildable design solutions and coordinate them with the council’s requirements. The selected business is an SME plant-hire and construction supplier, indicating that a suitably equipped specialist contractor can compete through a framework route rather than only through major national construction arrangements.
