The North Eastern Universities Purchasing Consortia (NEUPC) are leading a process to award a framework for floor coverings. The scope includes primary and secondary entrance matting, carpet tile, broadloom carpet, roll vinyl, safety vinyl, acoustic vinyl, vinyl tile, linoleum, static control flooring, rubber flooring, laminate flooring and vinyl - sports floors.

The framework is going to be available to members of NEUPC, plus members of LUPC, SUPC, HEPCW & NWUPC. This agreement will be open to universities and their partners regardless of whether or not they are to be defined as contracting authorities for the purpose of the PCR 2015.

It is anticipated that some of the future call off contracts under this framework may be part funded from external streams, including European Union (EU) funding and (ERDF/ESF) and potentially other research bodies. All funding assessed under this framework will be considered compliant for the purposes of external funding by the named participants.
