In plain English

Nottingham City Council wants to find a supplier to provide architectural coating materials (paint, wood stain, brushes, fillers, and related products) through a framework agreement. This is a single supplier contract worth around £579,000.

What the buyer wants

• Supply a range of architectural coating products including paint, wood stain, paint stripper, rollers, brushes, wallpaper paste, filler, mould spray and wipes, paint kettles and liner bags • Meet all quality and compliance standards for construction/building materials • Be available as the sole supplier on their framework for the contract period

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a framework contract for a single supplier, so you must be able to supply the full range of products listed (paint through to liner bags) from day one; businesses that only stock paint or only brushes will struggle. Most small businesses will find the £579,000 annual value and sole-supplier requirement challenging unless you are already an established trade supplier.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
