Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust has completed the procurement process for a Linen and Laundry Managed Service, adhering to the LPP, Linen and Laundry Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), Ref: LPP/2021/006. This public contract, awarded on 20th January 2026, is valued at £3,035,000. It is structured as a three-year agreement with options for two additional one-year extensions, starting from 1st February 2026 through to 31st January 2029. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the main industry category being services related to linen. The delivery location is at The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust in Welwyn Garden City, postal code CM20 1QX, in the United Kingdom.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale businesses specialising in linen and laundry services. By tapping into this contract, businesses can expand their footprint in the healthcare sector, catering to hospital needs with sustainable and reliable service provision. The procurement process, however, does not specifically indicate a preference for SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting that well-established firms like ELIS UK LIMITED, which secured this contract, are well-suited to fulfil the service efficiently over the lengthy contract period. This scenario highlights the potential for collaborative growth and the enhancement of logistical frameworks for businesses in the services category.
