UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council procured school decorating works covering the decoration of school corridors and stairwells, including associated woodwork and metalwork. The requirement falls within the building decoration sector and is relevant to contractors providing internal painting, decorating and finishing services in educational buildings. The scope indicates a need to prepare and decorate circulation areas rather than provide general facilities management or new construction. The council is a Welsh public authority based in Wrexham and acted as the buyer for this single requirement. The selected supplier, Garmer Property Services, is a small and medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the works were suitable for delivery by a specialist local or regional decorating contractor with the capability to manage school-based work.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition. One completed lot was awarded to Garmer Property Services. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026, runs from 20 July 2026 to 25 August 2026, and has an award value of £32,390 excluding VAT, or £38,867.98 including VAT. The contract is active. The awarded work is classified as decoration work and covers the school corridors, stairwells, woodwork and metalwork described in the requirement. The recorded outcome identifies Garmer Property Services as the successful supplier. The procurement was conducted as works rather than goods or services, and the published process information identifies the competition route but does not set out separate evaluation weightings.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need proven capability in internal school decorating, including corridors, stairwells, woodwork and metalwork. Experience working in occupied or operational educational buildings would be commercially relevant, particularly where work must be organised around school activities, protect surrounding areas and maintain safe access through circulation spaces. The requirement also demonstrates demand for a focused building-finishing contractor rather than a broad construction business. Garmer Property Services’ selection shows that a small or medium-sized specialist can satisfy this buyer’s needs through a limited-competition route. Suppliers with a track record of comparable public-sector decorating works, suitable site management, reliable labour capacity and strong quality and safety controls would be well placed when similar work returns to market.
