This tender, titled "Paint and Decorating Supplies," falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on paints and associated materials. It caters to educational institutions throughout the United Kingdom and is accessible to members of these consortia. The process is at the tender stage, utilising an open procurement method. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 9th June 2026, with the contract expected to be awarded by 1st August 2026. The total estimated value of the contract is £9,600,000, with an anticipated gross amount of £8,000,000.
