## Summary

Cumberland Council procured enabling construction works to prepare Cumberland Sports Village for its main redevelopment programme. The package covered site security, hoarding and permanent fencing; a construction compound and laydown area; asbestos removal; and utility diversions or disconnections. It also included removing leased equipment where needed, safely taking out 20 pitch-side posts, two turnstiles and seven pitch-lighting columns with associated infrastructure, and removing pitch-side seating and dugouts. The work was at Cumberland Sports Village in Cumbria. The purpose was to leave the site ready for the principal contractor to mobilise for the redevelopment. This is a construction works package rather than the main redevelopment contract itself.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Story Contracting Limited. Cumberland Council used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs from 11 September to 11 December 2026. Its value is £121,616.98 excluding VAT, or £145,940.37 including VAT. The package was intended to prepare the site for the principal contractor's mobilisation in January 2027. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and active contract; no evaluation criteria or award-scoring basis are set out in the available procurement details.

For firms competing for comparable work from Cumberland Council, this award demonstrates demand for a focused enabling package ahead of a major sports-village redevelopment. A credible supplier needs construction capability spanning site establishment and security, fencing, asbestos removal, utility disconnections or diversions, and safe dismantling and removal of sports-ground fixtures and seating. The scope also calls for coordinating several distinct workstreams on an active redevelopment site and leaving it ready for the principal contractor's mobilisation. Experience managing hazardous-material removal and safely handling pitch-side infrastructure would be directly relevant. The limited-competition route and completed award show that the buyer selected a contractor for a defined works package rather than a broad redevelopment role; suppliers should be able to deliver this kind of practical, multi-trade site preparation.
