Summary of the contracting process

Crescent Purchasing Consortium Limited procured a framework for paint and decorating supplies for educational establishments that are CPC members, including future members. Higher education institutions using participating purchasing consortia and eligible public sector bodies can also use the framework. The requirement covers paints, including water-based and oil-based products, together with painters’ brushes and related decorating supplies. Delivery is intended across the United Kingdom and may also extend to the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and other locations worldwide. This is a goods procurement, centred on supplying standard and specialist decorating materials to public and education-sector organisations through a purchasing framework.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The overall estimated framework value was £8,000,000 including the stated currency. The tender closed on 9 June 2026 at 14:00. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. An active award dated 29 July 2026, valued at £2,666,666, was made jointly to Crown Paints Limited, PPG Architectural Coatings UK Ltd and J.P McDougall and Co Ltd trading as Dulux Decorator Centre. The evaluation basis is not stated in the available procurement details. The framework is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and participation was open rather than restricted to a particular organisation type.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring public-sector demand for a broad range of paint and decorating materials, supplied through a framework that can serve education, higher education and eligible public bodies. Relevant competitors would need a dependable range of water-based and oil-based paints, decorating tools and painters’ brushes, supported by consistent product availability and the operational capacity to supply multiple institutional customers. The geographic scope favours suppliers with distribution arrangements able to fulfil orders across the United Kingdom and potentially overseas territories and neighbouring jurisdictions. Businesses with established public-sector or consortium supply experience, robust order processing, reliable delivery performance and the ability to support framework purchasing would be well placed when comparable requirements are next considered.
