This programme, currently in the planning stage, aims to provide communal and external cyclical decorating services across seven geographic regions, with a project value of £12.5 million (gross value of £15 million). The initiative is set to start on 1st April 2026 and may extend to 31st March 2031. Stonewater has scheduled market engagement from now until 9th May 2025, seeking feedback on the lot structure and other logistical aspects from potential bidders. Businesses interested in this opportunity can participate in a virtual Supplier Open Day, fostering open dialogue and further clarifications. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for companies involved in decorating and repair services, particularly those experienced in large-scale projects and working at height. The programme encompasses a variety of tasks, including both interior and exterior painting, pre-paint repairs, and maintenance of structural components like timber/uPVC. Given the emphasis on Health and Safety criteria, contractors with robust compliance in this area are well-suited to apply. The division into seven geographic lots also favours regional contractors who can leverage local expertise and resources. This contract, with the potential for extensions, offers a substantial and stable workstream for qualified businesses over the next several years. ## Notice Stonewater, a social housing provider with approximately 40,000 homes, will be going out to tender for a communal and external cyclical decorating programme. The contract will be for an initial term of three years, with the option to extend a further two years. It is anticipated that the programme will be split into seven geographic regions: North North - PS180,000.00 North Central - PS200,000.00 West Urban - PS450,000.00 West Rural - PS400,000.00 East - PS440,000.00 South East - PS630,000.00 South West - PS700,000.00 The scope of works will include cyclical pre paint repairs and decoration to internal and external areas and related activities including repairs to external render, replacement and repairs of timber/uPVC roofline components, replacement and cleaning of rainwater goods, wash down or uPVC windows, facias, soffits and the like. Both aspects of the work may require working at height, and as such, Health and Safety will be as key component of the evaluation criteria.

We are particularly interested in understanding whether the regional split, as currently configured, presents an appealing and practical opportunity from a contractor’s perspective. Additionally, we would welcome views on the potential implementation of a limitation on the number of lots a single bidder may be awarded. From your perspective as a supplier or delivery partner, how might such a restriction impact your interest or approach to bidding? Would this promote broader participation or present operational challenges? To further explore this opportunity and encourage open dialogue, we are happy to host a virtual Supplier Open Day—subject to sufficient interest. This session would provide an open forum to discuss the scope of the requirement, gain further insights, and clarify any queries you may have. If this contract is of interest to your organisation, please contact Gemma Wheatley at gemma.wheatley@stonewater.org. We kindly ask that you provide as much feedback as possible to help shape our approach and ensure the procurement strategy aligns with market capabilities. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014551-2025 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Apr 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Jun 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Apr 2026 - 31 Mar 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £12,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | STONEWATER LIMITED | | Locality | WHETSTONE | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE8 6EP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | North Whetstone | | Westminster constituency | South Leicestershire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 44812400 - Decorating supplies - 45442100 - Painting work - 45442110 - Painting work of buildings - 45442180 - Repainting work - 79931000 - Interior decorating services ## Release History - 11 Apr 2025 at 11:05 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014551-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014551-2025 11th April 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/8J34GPS33G - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-title/8J34GPS33G - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
