Summary of the contracting process

Erewash Borough Council procured works to paint various street furniture in Ilkeston town centre, Derbyshire. The requirement covers general painting and protective-coating work for structures, including street furniture and associated surfaces. It is a public works contract managed by the council, with delivery centred on Ilkeston. The buyer is Erewash Borough Council, based in Ilkeston. The work is relevant to contractors specialising in external painting, structural coating, street furniture maintenance or related public-realm improvement works. It may also suit businesses able to organise short-duration site-based works in a town-centre environment, manage public-facing locations and protect surrounding areas during preparation and painting. The procurement was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Bell Group Ltd was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 10 August 2026. The estimated tender value was £101,000 excluding VAT, or £121,200 including VAT. The awarded contract is worth £77,282.78 excluding VAT, or £92,739.34 including VAT. The contract period runs from 5 October to 24 December 2026. The tender deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00, and clarification enquiries closed on 20 June 2026 at 16:00. Evaluation was based predominantly on price, weighted at 90%, with 10% for the proposed time for completion. Electronic submission was allowed.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for public-realm painting and protective coating of street furniture for Erewash Borough Council, delivered in a town-centre setting. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience preparing, painting and protecting structures and street furniture, with the equipment, operatives and supervision to complete site-based works safely around public areas. Strong cost control would be central because price carried most of the evaluation weighting, while the ability to provide a realistic and deliverable completion programme would also affect the outcome. Relevant businesses include specialist painting contractors, protective-coating firms and larger facilities or public-realm maintenance providers with suitable in-house capability or reliable delivery teams. Experience coordinating access, traffic or pedestrian constraints and maintaining quality across multiple items would strengthen a comparable proposition.
