Painting, Decorating & Associated Repairs
Introduction
The Painting, Decorating & Associated Repairs framework, managed by Fusion 21, is a structured procurement route within the Facilities & Estates category. It is not a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) but a traditional framework agreement that ensures organisations can efficiently manage their painting and decorating needs. This framework is available until 19 March 2027 and is specifically designed to support public sector entities, including those in Health, Education, Housing, and other public sectors, by providing a comprehensive selection of pre-qualified supply partners.
Context & Use Case
This framework encompasses a broad array of services tailored to the maintenance and enhancement of public sector facilities. Contracting authorities utilise this framework to streamline procurement processes, ensuring they receive high-quality and reliable services. The framework has been structured to promote local delivery, with suppliers selected by region to cater to specific local needs. Additionally, it is designed to support social value outcomes, aligning service delivery with organisational priorities such as community support and sustainability initiatives.
Scope of Services
The Painting, Decorating & Associated Repairs framework is divided into several lots, each focusing on different aspects of maintenance and repairs: 1. Reactive Repairs & Maintenance: This lot includes a range of suppliers capable of addressing urgent and routine maintenance needs related to painting and decorating. 2. Empty Buildings Improvement: This lot focuses on refurbishing vacant properties, ensuring they are ready for occupancy or use. 3. Empty Building Security: Suppliers in this lot provide security services to protect unoccupied buildings from vandalism and trespassing. 4. Disrepair Works: This lot addresses more extensive repair needs, ensuring buildings meet legal and safety standards. 5. Contact Centre Service: Suppliers in this lot offer customer service solutions for managing tenant or user communications regarding maintenance and repair issues.
Who Can Apply
The framework is open to a diverse range of suppliers who specialise in painting, decorating, and associated repair services. Given the nature of this framework, it is particularly suitable for contractors with proven experience in public sector work and a commitment to meeting stringent quality and compliance standards. Although this is not a DPS, meaning applications are not open throughout its lifetime, interested suppliers should monitor the framework for future opportunities when it is re-tendered.
Buyer Benefits
Public sector buyers benefit from this framework through a streamlined procurement process that ensures compliance with procurement regulations. The framework offers a competitive environment where suppliers are pre-vetted, ensuring quality and reliability. Additionally, the regional selection of suppliers promotes quicker response times and service delivery tailored to local needs. The focus on social value also means that procurement decisions can support wider community benefits and sustainability goals.
