In plain English

NHS organisations across seven English regions need to buy linen and laundry services (clean uniforms, bed linens, towels, and similar items). This is a Dynamic Purchasing System, which means you can apply to join at any time during the 5-year contract period and then bid on individual orders from NHS trusts.

What the buyer wants

• Supply clean, hospital-grade linen and laundry services including uniforms, bed sheets, towels, and theatre linens to NHS hospitals and facilities • Collect soiled linen, process it through approved laundry facilities, and deliver clean items on agreed schedules • Meet NHS infection control and hygiene standards throughout collection, washing, storage, and delivery

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a massive contract (£5.84 billion over 5 years) on a national NHS framework. You will need substantial laundry infrastructure, multiple collection/delivery vehicles, proven NHS experience, significant financial backing, and the ability to service multiple regions. Small independent laundries will struggle unless joining as a subcontractor to a larger player.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
