## Summary

The recent contracting process by Lancaster University involves a comprehensive Painting and Decorating Framework, awarded on the 27th of February 2026, with services to commence from the 1st of April 2026 through to the 31st of March 2031. This award, under the classification of "Painting and glazing work," encompasses painting of buildings and structures across the university's campus, including both external and internal repair works. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, inviting competitive bids across various locations such as the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and other regions globally. This process is currently at the award stage and has seen active participation from suppliers including George Jones and Son (Contractors) Ltd, Ian Williams Limited, and S.J Bowker Ltd.

This tender offers considerable growth opportunities for businesses specialising in painting and decorating services, especially those with expertise in both external and internal works. The long-term nature of the contract provides a stable revenue stream and the chance for businesses to establish a robust relationship with an esteemed educational institution like Lancaster University. While the tender does not specifically highlight suitability for SMEs or VCSEs, larger organisations with experience in handling substantial projects would be well-suited to this procurement endeavour, focusing on quality maintenance and renovation services amidst live academic and residential environments. The framework will place businesses in a strategic position to leverage additional opportunities in similar sectors or geographical locations.

## Notice

This framework will cover Painting and Decorating services across our large campus. This will include: * External painting, including, potentially: masonry, rendered panels, steelwork. This is very likely to involve the requirement to work at height. * Internal small/low value maintenance type repair works in live buildings (both academic and residential). To submit a bid for the first stage of this procedure, please download the documentation from In-Tend, complete, and return before the deadline. Please ensure any clarifications are submitted in plenty of time for us to respond fully.
