Summary of the contracting process

Efficiency East Midlands Limited is in the planning stage of a tendering process for the EEM0005 Cyclical Decorating, Decorating Materials, and Monetary Voucher/Card Schemes Framework. This public procurement falls under the works category and aims to provide decorating materials, non-cash voucher schemes, and cyclical interior and exterior decoration works. The framework, planned to be split into three lots—delivery and counter collection, cyclical decoration work, and tenant options voucher scheme—will serve various locations across the United Kingdom, including regions such as UKC, UKD, and UKF, among others. Preliminary market engagement is scheduled with a feedback deadline of 21st September 2026, and the tender is expected to be issued in May 2027. The communication with interested parties is encouraged through a market engagement questionnaire and meet-the-buyer sessions slated for August and September 2026.

This prospective framework represents an opportunity for businesses involved in decorating supplies and services, as well as those providing voucher schemes, to expand their market presence. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well suited given the open procedure procurement method, promoting wide participation. By engaging early through the preliminary market engagement process, businesses can position themselves optimally to compete for a role in this framework, gaining access to long-term contracts that could significantly drive business growth by supplying essential products and services over an expected four-year contract period from 2027 to 2031.
