In plain English
Hillingdon Council wants a contractor to replace the communal washing machines and tumble dryers in 11 sheltered housing sites, supplying and fitting 25 washers and 18 dryers. The work also includes removing the old machines, testing the electrical and water supplies, and fixing the dryer ventilation.
What the buyer wants
• Supply and install 25 washing machines and 18 tumble dryers (Electrolux models or equivalent), remove and dispose of the old units, and test, commission and certify each installation, with one machine per space and no stacking. • Test, certify and label the electrical isolators to BS7671, overhaul and label the water isolation valves, clean and overhaul dryer ventilation (replacing flexible duct with rigid duct), and alter plinths so the machines are fitted securely and meet the Equality Act 2010. • Relocate up to 7 machines under 5 years old where directed, provide a 12-month warranty with 6-monthly servicing, supply a spares list and O&M manuals, produce an A3 laminated usage poster for each laundry room, and make good all disturbed areas.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice asks for an experienced provider to deliver electrical, water and ventilation work alongside equipment supply across 11 sites, so a small business without in-house electrical and plumbing capability, or without the capacity to handle 43 machine installations at multiple sheltered housing sites in the timescale, would most likely be ruled out.
