Decoration Framework

Bernicia Group · Public body

In brief

Bernicia Group has announced plans to buy construction and building maintenance work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £7,500,000 including VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 7 years, starting 1 April 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6 bids per contract for construction contracts in this region (from 208 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £7,500,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Bernicia will be looking for competent and reliable contractors to carry out decoration works over 7 year period to include Internal and external decoration along with associated timber repairs to the external envelope of each property. Components will include, but not limited to, external timber windows, external timber doors, fencing and gates, roofline, washing down gutters and walls, as well as internal decoration to communal areas. There may also be a requirement to use access equipment and remove asbestos, if necessary.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
