## Summary

The Gateshead Council is currently conducting an open tender for "The Provision of Decorating Cards," aimed at the supply of decoration cards that allow council tenants to exchange them for decorating materials. This procurement falls under the goods category with a focus on paints, varnishes, and mastics. The tender was published on 11 April 2017, and responses are due by 25 April 2017. The contract period is set to commence on 2 May 2017 and will run until 1 May 2019. The location for this procurement process is Gateshead, in the North East region of the United Kingdom, and the total value of the contract is £20,000.
