Summary of the contracting process

The University of Birmingham has initiated a procurement process for the provision of linen and laundry services under a framework agreement. The tender, titled "The Provision of Linen and Laundry Services," falls within the services industry category, specifically related to laundry-collection services. The framework has a duration of three years, with the possibility of a one-year extension, and currently the procurement is complete. This agreement involves a single supplier, Cabbage White Linen Services Limited, which was chosen after previous efforts to engage the market resulted in no compliant returns. The contract was signed on 16th June 2022 and has a total value of £194,250.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the laundry services sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering linen and laundry solutions. Companies that can leverage competitive pricing and address specific service delivery requirements may find this to be an advantageous contract. Additionally, local suppliers, given their proximity to the University of Birmingham, could benefit from reduced transportation costs and contribute to a lower carbon footprint by servicing the university campus effectively.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Framework Agreement for The Provision of Linen Hire and Laundry. Additional information: This was originally published as FRAM522/21 but due to no compliant returns the tender process was abandoned so UoB engaged directly with the market. Numerous companies were contacted but were unable to supply/deliver requirements. This was the only company that were able to provide requirements. This is a 3 year framework with the option to extend for a further 12 months. Pricing is very competitive. This is also a local supplier based 1.5 miles away from the Edgbaston Campus and therefore lessening the carbon footprint. There are also no delivery charges due to closeness of location. We are unable to assess the Conferencing requirements due to no historic data due to Covid. Also, we are unable to give volumes at present. This contract covers all laundry Campus Wide as the previous provider terminated their contract as of 24th June 2022.
