Summary of the contracting process

Telford and Wrekin Council procured external painting works for schools. The requirement falls within construction work and concerns painting activity at school buildings. Delivery is associated with Telford, Shropshire, and the wider United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the selected supplier is EML Projects Limited, based in Walsall. This is a works contract rather than a supply of materials or a standalone professional service. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would be contractors specialising in external building painting, particularly work on education premises and public-sector property. The procurement covered the council’s requirement for the stated schools external painting programme.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective restricted procedure. The tender deadline was 10 July 2026 at 12:00. Telford and Wrekin Council awarded the contract to EML Projects Limited on 16 July 2026 for £26,177.99 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. The tender was classified as construction work and the main category was works. The award is recorded as active, with one supplier selected. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier assessing future work from Telford and Wrekin Council, this award demonstrates a defined demand for external painting of schools within the council’s property estate. A credible competitor would need practical capability in external building painting, the workforce and equipment to complete work across school premises, and experience organising delivery around operational public buildings. Familiarity with construction work for a local authority and the ability to deliver a short, concentrated programme would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected contractor’s success also indicates that the buyer uses a restricted procurement route, so businesses should be prepared to meet pre-selection requirements before submitting a tender.
