ASSOCIATION NEWS CALLING ALL
DECORATING FIRMS! MEMBERS CAN NOW register their sites for Open Doors 2020. Next year’s event, which is taking place from 16–21 March, is an opportunity to showcase the depth and breadth of careers available in the industry. Help us to inspire the next generation by registering
construction sites, factories, offices and training centres via the Open Doors website. Open Doors Week aims to inspire more people into
the construction industry by letting them go ‘behind the scenes’ to discover the diverse and rewarding range of career paths the industry has to offer, as well as changing people’s perceptions of construction. The current skills shortage is one of the most
pressing issues within the industry. Open Doors provides a fantastic opportunity to inspire and recruit the next generation and career changers to choose a career in construction. Open Doors is delivered by Build UK in partnership
with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), supported by industry partners the Considerate Constructors Scheme and the Home Builders Federation, community partners the Careers & Enterprise Company and the Department for Work and Pensions, and media partner Construction News.

NEW PROJECT LAUNCHED
UNIEP OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED a new project on 1 November, financed with the support of the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. Upskilled New Painters – UPS Paint – is following the UNIEP strategy for improving the image of the profession adapted from the previous projects In Paint and Paint Up. UPS Paint was created to address the main challenges of the Painting/Decorating sector, that UNIEP has identified,
for young people entering the profession – quality in education/training and of knowledge of market innovation by contractors and training institutes. The necessity is therefore to improve the image of the sector for young people but, at the same time also for
adults. The main needs the project is trying to face can be sum up in few principal aspects: 1. Need to update skills and competences taking into consideration new techniques, environmentally friendly and safe products
2. Necessity in the requalification of adults 3. Validation of formal and informal learning giving value to the life experiences and what people have learnt
The UPS Paint project’s objective is to recognise the previous education of adults, to give to the painting trade the
people with the right competences to fulfil the labour market needs. The goal is to develop a structured validation system, including methodology, processes, tools, and guidelines for trainers to be tested with professionals working in the field. The consortium is composed of eight complementary partners of Painting Contractors Associations, VET institutes
and companies from Belgium, Czech Republic, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal and Sweden. The launch meeting took place on 12 and 13 November 2019 in Brussels, and the enthusiasm between the
partners for this new project shows a positive attitude, starting in the best way for this two year adventure until 2021. Stay tuned for discovering all the activities they will carry out!

The Price Adjustment Formulae Indices are monthly indices used in conjunction with formula methods for adjusting construction contracts which are not fixed priced. They are sometimes known as the NEDO, Baxter or Osborne Indices. The formulae calculate the increase or decrease in contractors' costs over any period, to the nearest month. This method of reimbursement helps speed up payment to contractors and reduces administrative costs. The indices published above are for decorating work and are compiled from labour and materials costs. Series 3 is the latest series and recommended for use on all new contracts. Series 2 continues to be published for contracts which still require their use.
