Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "00408-AST National Decorating Programme 2026-2033" spans multiple contracts over seven years, with Stonewater Limited as the buying organisation. The programme targets decoration work across diverse UK regions, including North, East, West, and South regions, divided into eight lots. The initial tender was intended to cover decoration, surface preparation, and even minor repairs, but has recently been cancelled. The contracting authority, Stonewater Limited, based in Whetstone, UK, intends to issue a revised tender later in 2026, around August or September, with the aim to align the work more closely to their revised strategic plan and locality models. This offers a fresh opportunity for contractors, especially those with a focus on residential and communal property maintenance.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the painting and decorating industry. The procurement method was an open competitive flexible procedure encouraging entries from skilled suppliers, especially small and medium enterprises, across eight geographical lots. If selected, contractors could see growth opportunities through continued work and potential renewals, given the contract spans up to seven years and involves evaluation on quality and pricing. The anticipated new tender announcement provides a fresh chance for businesses to position themselves as prime suppliers to meet Stonewater’s updated operational strategy, making this procurement process highly relevant for firms specialising in painting, decoration, and maintenance services.
