Cumberland Council

Cumbria House, 107-117 Botchergate, Carlisle, CA1 1RD

Project Value Range: £0.2 million to £3 million Contractors are expected to undertake a variety of works including: • Planned Maintenance: This may involve repairs and replacements of roofs, windows, and mechanical and electrical systems (M&E). Capital maintenance projects are typically low value and primarily focused on ensuring buildings are safe, windproof, and watertight. • Upgrading and Refurbishment: This includes the enhancement and renovation of the Council's existing portfolio of corporate and school properties. • New Builds and Extensions: This involves constructing new buildings and extending existing corporate and school properties, utilising a wide range of building types, including modular and offsite fabrication.

Project Value Range: Up to £3 million Contractors are expected to undertake a variety of works including: • Structures & Bridges: This involves the repair and maintenance of highway structures, including retaining walls and bridges. Tasks may include culvert replacement, masonry arch bridge repairs, replacement of sections of retaining walls, and sea wall repairs. These structures are primarily made of stone or stone-faced materials, reinforced or mass concrete, or structural steelwork, and are most often located on carriageway local roads. • Public Realm: This includes improvements to town centre environments, likely involving highway surfacing, footpaths, drainage, and signage enhancements. Works may also include upgrades to the appearance and functionality of transport interchanges. • Highway Improvements: This involves improvements to junctions, access roads, car parks, and distributor routes to enhance safety and facilitate development. • Footpath/Cycleway Improvements: While some of these schemes may be procured through other Council frameworks (e.g., small value surfacing framework), larger schemes may be managed through this framework. • Drainage, Ground Stabilisation, and Flood Prevention Schemes: These schemes could include packages of several small drainage projects, piling, slope stabilisation, or slope protection schemes adjacent to highways. They may also encompass a variety of flood prevention initiatives.

Project Value Range: £2.5 million to £6 million but may be used to procure schemes above £6m (with no upper limit) based on complexity, risk and other considerations Contractors are expected to undertake a variety of works including similar projects to those outlined in Lots 1 and 2.
