Summary of the contracting process

City of York Council procured paint packs and related sundries for tenants in social housing. The requirement is for goods used in housing maintenance and decoration, falling within construction materials. Delivery is associated with York, England. The buying organisation is City of York Council. The procurement concerns supply rather than installation or construction works, so relevant businesses are paint manufacturers, decorators’ merchants, building-material suppliers and distributors able to provide packaged paint and associated sundries for social-housing use. The stated requirement is focused on supplying packs for housing tenants, making experience in handling trade or maintenance supplies relevant to the opportunity and to comparable future requirements from this buyer.

This procurement has been awarded. City of York Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 12:00. Dulux Decorator Centre was awarded the contract on 18 August 2026 for £144,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2029. The procurement is a single goods requirement, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award was active when recorded. The evaluation basis is not stated in the available process information, while the procurement category is goods and the requirement is classified as construction materials.

This award demonstrates a defined purchasing requirement from City of York Council for packaged paint and decorating sundries supporting social-housing tenants. The selected supplier, Dulux Decorator Centre, is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that comparable suppliers do not need to be large national contractors to be credible. Businesses best placed for a future requirement would have reliable access to paint and associated decorating products, dependable distribution into York, and the capacity to fulfil housing-maintenance orders consistently. Trade-counter, merchant, manufacturer or specialist distribution businesses with experience supplying councils, housing providers, landlords or maintenance teams would be well aligned. The route used also shows the value of securing a place on a suitable framework agreement.
