Decorating Tenders and Contracts

See open decorating tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Most decorating work here is a cyclical contract: housing associations, councils and schools bring in a term contractor to redecorate housing stock, communal blocks or school buildings on a repeating cycle, titled things like "Cyclical Decoration" or "External Decorations and Repairs". Internal decoration jobs, often bundled with minor repairs, make up the rest.

Housing associations retender these term contracts on a rolling cycle, so last year's award is a fair guide to when the next lot goes out.

  • How do I find decorating tenders in the UK public sector?

    Search live decorating tenders on Stotles, or move earlier by reading the buyer documents and budget papers that flag a redecoration programme before it becomes a live notice. Housing associations and councils tend to run these on a rolling cycle, so last year's award is a reasonable guide to when the next lot goes out.

  • What kind of contracts count as decorating tenders?

    Most are cyclical or planned redecoration contracts covering housing stock, communal areas, schools and public buildings: internal and external decoration, surface preparation, minor repairs and access equipment such as scaffolding, usually let as a term contract or framework rather than a single job.

  • Are decorating and painting tenders the same thing?

    Often, yes. Many notices are titled painting and decorating and combine both trades under one contract, particularly for housing repairs and school redecoration programmes. A minority use decoration alone, usually for cyclical housing or heritage work where painting is one part of a wider redecoration scope.

  • What CPV codes cover decorating tenders?

    The main code is 45451000, Decoration work, which returns 698 notices alongside the keyword filter. 79931000, Interior decorating services, adds a further 201. Neither is applied as a filter on this page: keywords alone return more of the on-intent notices than keywords plus the codes, since plenty of decorating contracts carry no CPV code at all or carry a painting code instead.

    1,250 decorating contracts have been awarded across the UK public sector, tracked by Stotles, out of 2,692 notices in total. Only a handful are open at any one time, since most decorating work happens on named cyclical programmes rather than reappearing as fresh open competitions.
