Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Caledonian Sleeper Limited, sought to obtain laundry services for train bedding and towels across Glasgow and London. The services aimed to facilitate collection, inspection, laundering, and re-delivery of items to the Glasgow Polmadie Depot and the London Wembley Depot. Classified under the industry of laundry-collection services, this procurement fell within the services category. The process applied a selective procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure with a call for competition. The tendering phase was active as of March 2025, with an end date set for 18 April 2025. Each lot, carrying an estimated total value of £2,500,000, had specific quality and price criteria for evaluation.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in large-scale laundry services, particularly those experienced in servicing transportation sectors such as railways. It represents an ideal opportunity for companies offering high-quality laundry solutions, supported by robust contingency and environmental strategies, to grow their business by securing substantial long-term contracts. Companies like SMEs and large firms capable of meeting specific quality criteria, and contributing efficiently to both the Glasgow and London locations, will likely thrive under these contracts. The potential for contract renewal further enhances the appeal, providing prospects for sustained business expansion.
