Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council’s Adults’ Health and Care and Children’s Services buy installation, repair and maintenance of communal commercial laundry equipment, including washing machines and tumble dryers, plus a professionally managed helpdesk for repair and maintenance enquiries and reporting. The equipment is used in care homes, assisted-living properties and children’s residential homes across Hampshire. Most machines are electrically powered, with some gas-powered units. The requirement covers a large number of machines of varying types and includes installation as well as ongoing support. The helpdesk’s normal service hours are weekdays, 08:00 to 17:00; bank holidays are excluded except in emergencies.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Washco Limited on 26 May 2026. Hampshire County Council used a direct award call-off from the NHS Laundry and Linen Services Total Solutions framework. The stated award value is £300,000. The contract period runs from 26 June 2026 to 25 June 2031. The tender deadline was 26 May 2026 at 17:00. This is a single service requirement, with no separate lots described. The award information does not set out evaluation criteria or specific eligibility requirements. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the awarded supplier is an SME.

This award shows recurring demand from Hampshire County Council for installation and lifecycle support of communal laundry equipment in residential care settings. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to cover commercial washing machines and tumble dryers across a mixed estate, including both electric and gas-powered equipment. Credibility depends on being able to install equipment and provide dependable repairs and maintenance, backed by a professionally managed, fully staffed and supervised helpdesk for service enquiries and reporting. The service model needs to support weekday operations during core business hours and accommodate emergency circumstances on bank holidays. The procurement was routed through a specialist NHS laundry and linen services framework, so relevant framework access and experience delivering this combined equipment-and-support service would be important.
