Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh is seeking to establish a Painting and Decorating Framework Agreement for its entire estate, including listed buildings and other properties used by the university. The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with an open procedure for submission. The tender, identified as EC1033, falls under the works category and pertains to the education sector in the UKM75 region. The framework agreement will last for an initial period of three years, with an option to extend for an additional year. Key dates for this process include the submission deadline on 10th February 2025 at 12:00 noon and the award start date set for the same day at 14:00. The framework aims to maintain high standards, especially for listed properties, and will be governed by specific editions of the Scottish Building Contract Committee's guidelines.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in painting and decorating services with experience in both reactive maintenance and planned small works. It is particularly suitable for businesses that have a track record of working on large-scale, complex projects and can meet the high standards required for maintaining listed buildings. The open procurement method, focusing on both quality (60%) and cost (40%), provides a level playing field for various businesses to compete. Firms demonstrating strong economic and financial standing, relevant experience, and adherence to quality, health, and safety standards are well-positioned to benefit from this contract, which could potentially be extended to a total of four years and accessed by subsidiary companies of the university.
