Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Great Places Housing Group entails the maintenance and supply of communal laundry machines, specifically for installation and servicing within shared spaces in their housing schemes. The latest contract award was signed on 12th May 2025, involving "Maintenance" and "Installation" lots contracted to Waterman Laundry Equipment Limited and JLA Ltd, respectively. Two lots were active under this framework — one focusing on maintenance and the other on installation, with work spanning across regions UKD3, UKD4, UKD6, UKD74, and UKE3. The procurement method was open, aligning with the regulations under legal basis 32014L0024, part of the CELEX scheme, focusing on services under the CPV code 90000000. Key stages included planning, tender, and award with the initial tender issued in September 2024.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the cleaning and environmental services industry, especially those specializing in large-scale equipment maintenance and installation. With contracts valued significantly, businesses offering high-quality service with a focus on social value have a competitive advantage given the award criteria, which emphasizes quality and price. Suitable contenders for this tender would include small to medium enterprises familiar with delivering tailored services across specified UK regions, poised to supply equipment while ensuring comprehensive installation and maintenance solutions in communal residential settings. Engaging in such contracts allows service providers to expand their operations and fortify their market presence within the housing amenities sector.
