Summary of the contracting process

YPO, acting as a central purchasing organisation for public sector bodies and its associated companies, procured laundry and specialist personal protective equipment services through a dynamic purchasing system. The requirement covered three service areas: collection, specialist cleaning, maintenance and return of structural firefighters’ PPE; collection, laundering and return of contaminated items; and collection, laundering and return of general laundry items. Services were intended for customers across the United Kingdom. The opportunity is relevant to commercial laundry operators, textile-care businesses, PPE maintenance specialists and facilities management providers able to manage collection and return logistics. It also demonstrates demand from public sector customers for both routine laundry and technically controlled cleaning and maintenance of protective clothing.

The procurement is complete and contracts are active. YPO used a selective restricted procedure to establish an open dynamic purchasing system, divided into three lots. The contract period for each lot runs from 1 September 2023 to 31 August 2029, with options allowing extension from an initial period ending 31 August 2025 and a possible renewal after 5.5 years. Contracts were signed on 15 August 2023. The contract value recorded for each lot is £2,000,000. Lot 1 was awarded to MSA Safety, ELIS UK Limited, Hunter Apparel Solutions Limited, ACS Clothing Ltd and Evenoak Services (Worcester) Limited. Lot 2 was awarded to MSA Safety trading as Bristol Uniforms, Hunter Apparel Solutions, Sasse Facilities Management, ACS Clothing and Evenoak Services. Lot 3 was awarded to ELIS UK, Hunter Apparel Solutions, Sasse Facilities Management, ACS Clothing, Evenoak Services, Eden Enterprise trading as Green Group and Fishers Services. Evaluation weighted quality at 40%, delivery and customer service at 20%, social value and sustainability at 10%, and price at 30%.

This procurement shows that YPO’s laundry requirements can support several specialist and established small and medium-sized suppliers across multiple service areas. A credible competitor would need suitable laundry-processing capacity, reliable collection and return arrangements, and the ability to separate and handle general, contaminated and protective clothing streams safely. For the PPE lot, relevant capability includes specialist cleaning and maintenance of structural firefighters’ ensembles, with processes that protect garment performance and support return to service. For contaminated laundry, controlled handling and decontamination capability would be important. The evaluation also shows that operational quality, dependable delivery and customer service, social value and sustainability matter alongside price. Suppliers seeking similar YPO work would need to meet public procurement exclusion requirements and demonstrate a service model capable of supporting public sector customers throughout the United Kingdom.
