Decorating Materials, Cyclical Decoration & Tenant Options Vouchers
Framework Description
Efficiency East Midlands' Decorating Materials, Cyclical Decoration & Tenant Options Vouchers framework, awarded in May 2023, covers planned redecoration programmes, the supply of decorating materials and tenant options vouchers for EEM members. It is not a DPS: the appointed supplier list is fixed. It runs until 6 March 2027 with no extension listed, so a replacement procurement is likely in the coming months.
Context & Use Case
Housing associations, councils and other EEM members use it to deliver cyclical redecoration of communal areas, corporate buildings and estates, and to buy materials and vouchers without separate tenders. Work is often scheduled around occupied buildings and operational constraints, across many sites, and members can combine labour, materials and vouchers to suit each programme and budget.
Scope of Services
Cyclical decoration works to existing buildings Preparation and surface treatment Supply and delivery of decorating materials Decorating voucher arrangements Labour and coordination for decoration programmes

Who Can Apply
Suits decoration contractors running planned programmes across multiple sites, and decorating materials merchants or voucher providers. Applications for this framework are closed and it ends on 6 March 2027, so non-appointed suppliers cannot join now but should get ready for the replacement, which is likely to be tendered close to that date.
Buyer Benefits
Members can run multi-year redecoration cycles through one route, with contractors, materials and vouchers available together. They value contractors who keep to programme across many sites, work safely in occupied buildings and price predictably, plus materials suppliers who deliver reliably to site.
Next Steps
With the 6 March 2027 end date close, check Find a Tender and EEM's website for a successor procurement and its timetable. Prepare evidence of cyclical programmes delivered for housing or public sector clients, your health and safety record and a clear pricing approach. Appointed suppliers should keep bidding for call-offs until the term ends.
