Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process focuses on the procurement of Paint and Decorating Supplies under a framework agreement. The buying organisation leading this process is the Crescent Purchasing Consortium Limited, located in Salford, UK, with contributions from other consortia, including the North Western and North Eastern Universities Purchasing Consortia. This tender, identified by ID CA17731, falls under the industry category of goods, specifically involving products such as water and oil paints, and painters' brushes. The procurement is currently in the 'Tender' stage, with key dates including the end of the tender period on 9th June 2026 and the award period concluding on 1st August 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure, which provides opportunities for interested parties to submit tenders electronically, highlighting inclusivity in participation.

This procurement tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers of painting and decorating supplies. It caters to educational establishments and higher education institutions, promoting involvement from a broad spectrum of public sector bodies within the UK. The formulation as a framework agreement without the need for reopening competition aligns well with businesses looking to establish consistent supply partnerships over an extended period. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly well-placed to seize this opportunity due to the procurement framework’s suitability clauses, potentially benefiting from engagements valued at up to £9.6 million in gross value. Such a significant contract could foster growth and stability for suppliers who can meet the quality and pricing criteria set out by the consortium.
