## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has completed its procurement process for a Painting and Decorating Framework, having officially signed the contract on 26th June 2025. This framework is designed to cover works across the University’s entire estate, including several listed buildings, and it encompasses additional properties used by the University. The framework agreement, which follows the Scotland (FA/Scot) 2014 and Measured Term Contract for use in Scotland (MTC/Scot) 2019 editions, will commence on 1st October 2025 and is set for a duration of three years with an additional one-year extension option, ending potentially on 30th September 2029. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure with a significant focus on quality, as reflected in the evaluation criteria of 60% for quality and 40% for price.

This framework presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in painting and decorating services, particularly those with experience in working on historic or complex estates. With a contract value amounting to £5,147,493, it provides an expansive scope for large and small enterprises alike, with SMEs already represented among the awarded contractors. The involvement of multiple suppliers including dumbreck decorators, Bell Group Ltd, and others indicates diverse participation, potential for collaboration, and subcontracting opportunities. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality workmanship and demonstrating flexibility in project management and stakeholder engagement could find significant growth opportunities within this framework while contributing to the maintenance and enhancement of the University’s prestigious estate.
