Interior Decorating and Furnishing Solutions framework

The Interior Decorating and Furnishing Solutions framework encompasses a full interior offering tailored for social housing: decorative supplies (paint, brushes, wallcoverings), trade-grade coatings and sundries, soft furnishings, domestic furniture, and both hard and soft flooring. By consolidating buying power across these categories, PfH gives its members access to a holistic solution that simplifies procurement and supports consistent, housing-sector appropriate standards.

Housing associations, ALMOs, and local authorities managing social housing stock are eligible. This means the framework is designed specifically for organisations that need to procure interior products for their homes, communal spaces, void refurbishment, or resident-facing areas, not just commercial offices or private developments.

Yes, one of the major use-cases is void refurbishment. Whether you need paint, carpets, or furniture, the framework offers a fast, compliant route to get high-quality, housing-appropriate interiors. This helps reduce time spent sourcing and ensures products are compatible with social housing standards, so asset teams can deliver voids swiftly and to a high standard.

The Interior Decorating and Furnishing Solutions framework primarily focuses on the supply of materials such as decorative supplies, flooring, furniture, fittings. While some suppliers may offer installation or project management, it’s not guaranteed for all. When calling off under the framework, organisations should check with individual suppliers to confirm whether they provide design, installation or after-sales services as part of their offering.

Yes, the framework’s CPV codes (per the FTS notice) list soft furnishings, paints, and decorative supplies, which covers a broad group of products. This opens up the potential for more sustainable, low-impact materials such as low-VOC paints, recycled textile furnishings, and environmentally responsible flooring options. Organisations can call off specific manufacturers who prioritise sustainable supply when placing mini-competitions.

This Interior Decorating and Furnishing Solutions framework is designed to help landlords handle frequent interior upgrades, particularly in voids and busy asset programmes. It offers direct access to suppliers who understand social housing timescales and the importance of durable, readily available materials. Because all categories; decorating, flooring, furniture, sit under one procurement route, teams can source everything needed for a room or whole-property refresh without running multiple exercises. This reduces administrative pressure, shortens project lead times and supports a more predictable turnaround process for homes coming back into use.

Members can source a wide range of trade-quality decorating materials, including paints, primers, protective coatings, wallpapers, sundries and tools. These products are chosen for performance in housing settings where durability, ease of application and repeatable finish matter. Whether teams are carrying out routine maintenance, cyclical redecorations or large-scale improvements in communal areas, the Interior Decorating and Furnishing Solutions framework provides a consistent and compliant route to products suited to high-traffic housing environments and the pressures asset and repairs teams experience.

Yes. The flooring lot covers domestic carpets, contract-grade carpet tiles, sheet vinyl, safety flooring and associated accessories. These options support a range of use cases – standard void replacements, adaptations, high-traffic corridors, supported housing schemes and office or reception spaces. Because flooring choices affect long-term maintenance budgets, the framework helps members select materials with the right balance of durability, cost and ease of installation. It also provides flexibility to run mini-competitions to test pricing for larger planned programmes.

Absolutely. The furniture component includes seating, storage, tables and soft furnishings suitable for resident-facing environments such as lounges, meeting rooms, sheltered schemes and temporary accommodation. The framework supports organisations looking to create welcoming and resilient spaces that stand up to everyday use. Members can also specify products that meet fire safety and durability standards relevant to communal environments, and they can use direct award or mini-competition routes to source tailored packages for larger refurbishments.
