## Summary

Babergh District Council, in collaboration with Mid Suffolk District Council, is initiating a tender process for "Internal and External Cyclical Decoration Works". This procurement falls under the industry category of painting and decoration works, taking place in the UKH14 region, encompassing properties within the Babergh and Mid Suffolk districts. The procurement, currently in the tender stage as of 14th July 2026, involves a selective competitive procedure with an estimated annual contract value between GBP600,000.00 and GBP1,000,000.00. Key deadlines include an expression of interest deadline on 1st September 2026 and an enquiry period ending on 18th August 2026. Contracts are intended to run for three years starting on 1st June 2027, with a possible extension of two years subject to reviews, with a total possible contract period until 31st May 2032.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in painting and decoration services, particularly those equipped to manage external and internal cyclical projects. With a potential combined contract value of GBP6,000,000.00 over five years, the opportunity is sizable. The procurement welcomes small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and encourages participation due to its lots dedicated to specific geographic areas, allowing tailored responses to local needs. Businesses that excel in delivering quality decoration services alongside social value may find this opportunity particularly advantageous, as the award criteria heavily weigh on quality (60%) and social value (10%), alongside competitive pricing (30%).

## Notice

Babergh District Council and Mid Suffolk District Council (BMSDC) are looking to jointly procure Contractors for the delivery of their Internal and External Cyclical Decoration Works Contracts. This opportunity will include two geographic Lots, one for each District. The estimated combined annual contracts value is circa GBP600,000.00 to GBP1,000,000.00. This figure does not take into account annual indexation considerations or VAT. It is intended that the contracts will run for a period of three years with the option for renewal, as decided by BMSDC, for an extension of up to a further two years, subject to satisfactory reviews. The maximum duration of the contract is therefore five years. The contract value in this notice is therefore subject to review and is not guaranteed, as this is based upon the maximum term.
