Suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors are invited to participate in a market engagement exercise, with the deadline for initial contact via email set for close of business on 30 September 2025. This engagement will help shape the renewal and potential new additions to the framework, with feedback influencing its design. The contract period for the framework is envisaged to commence on 16 January 2026 and conclude on 15 January 2030. This procurement opportunity, valued at £15 million, presents significant potential for businesses involved in supplying paints, varnishes, painting and decorating services, and related products.

Companies that specialise in paint, wallcoverings, tiles, protective coatings, and painters' tools will find this tender particularly advantageous.
