Summary of the contracting process

Defence Equipment and Support procured remediation painting works for designated areas at RAF Lossiemouth. The work supports security accreditation activities and is intended to achieve the required wall finish in those areas. This is a works requirement for repainting rather than the supply of paint alone, and is relevant to commercial decorators and painting contractors able to undertake remedial or refurbishment work in a defence-estate setting. The buyer is Defence Equipment and Support, the Ministry of Defence organisation responsible for acquiring and supporting defence equipment. Delivery is at RAF Lossiemouth in Moray, Scotland. The requirement was organised as a single lot covering the painting works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Defence Equipment and Support used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the defence and security regime. Henderson Decorators Limited was selected as the supplier. The award was made on 27 August 2026, when the contract was also signed. The contract runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £97,238.50 excluding VAT and £116,686.20 including VAT. The contract is active. The evaluation outcome was therefore a direct selection rather than a competitive assessment of bids; the stated requirement was the delivery of remediation painting works supporting security accreditation and the required finish at RAF Lossiemouth.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for commercial painting expertise within a defence environment, where the finish of designated areas contributes to security accreditation activity. A credible future supplier would need to deliver remediation and repainting work to the required standard, manage work in operational or security-sensitive areas, and complete the works within an agreed programme. The appointed supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only a large national contractor. Painting firms with relevant refurbishment capability, robust site management and experience working around controlled defence facilities would be well placed to assess similar requirements from this buyer. The opportunity also indicates demand for focused, single-site works rather than a broad multi-service facilities contract.
