This is a works contract for a broad, multi-site property portfolio, including associated painting and decorating activities commissioned during the contract term. The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a two-stage process, starting with a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire and followed by an Invitation to Tender for shortlisted suppliers. It is a below-threshold open competition, with one contractor to be appointed. Enquiries had to be submitted by 1 September 2026 at 23:59, and tender responses by 8 September 2026 at 14:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 17 March 2027 to 16 March 2029, with up to two further two-year extensions, subject to agreement and satisfactory performance, allowing a maximum end date of 16 March 2033. The estimated value is £780,000 including VAT (£650,000 excluding VAT). Evaluation is 30% price and 70% quality. This opportunity suits painting and decorating contractors able to deliver planned and reactive work across multiple operational and commercial properties and several counties. Suppliers must demonstrate suitability, capacity, relevant experience, technical competence, accreditations, financial standing and compliance with minimum requirements at the PQQ stage. Shortlisted businesses will need to provide detailed written responses and a commercial model for the tender evaluation. The successful contractor will be expected to work collaboratively with the client, maintain high standards of health and safety, compliance and service delivery, and support social value and carbon reduction objectives.
