## Summary

The Bernicia Group is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a "Decoration Framework" project with an estimated value of £7,500,000. The initiative, set in the UKC region, specifically targets the decoration industry under the works category. The project's scope includes internal and external decoration along with associated timber repairs. The proposed framework entails a long-term engagement over seven years, starting on 1st April 2027 and concluding on 31st March 2034. Bernicia Group, located in Ashington, is actively seeking reliable contractors, and future notices regarding this tender are expected by 3rd August 2026, which could offer businesses a significant lead time to prepare. The legal framework is established under the UK's legislative guideline, particularly UKPGA 2023/54.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in decoration works and associated tasks. With a focus on internal and external decoration tasks, companies with expertise in timber repairs, external and internal decorations, and those equipped to handle potentially necessary asbestos removal will find this project particularly suitable. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are explicitly considered part of the suitability criteria, providing equitable opportunities for smaller businesses to expand their portfolios. Additionally, given the planned procurement status and the advanced timetable, interested businesses can strategically position themselves to take advantage of this opportunity by aligning their offerings with the Bernicia Group's requirements.
