Summary of the contracting process

The Food Standards Agency has completed a procurement process for a contract titled "Laundry Service Provision in approved establishments in England and Wales", classified under Laundry-management services. This contract, valued at £1,353,000, involves a weekly rental, laundering, and disposal of garments, and is part of the services category, operating in regions across England and Wales. The procurement, under the limited method, concluded with an active award on the 25th of March 2025 to ELIS UK LIMITED. The process was unique, as it did not involve prior publication of a call for competition due to only one supplier expressing interest, classified under procurement falling outside a directive’s scope.

This tender creates significant opportunities for large-scale laundry and textile management providers capable of meeting the logistical demands of servicing multiple establishments across a broad geographic area. Given the substantial value of the contract and the necessity for specialized laundry management, large companies such as ELIS UK LIMITED, which can leverage economies of scale, would be well-suited to benefit from participating in similar tenders. Enterprises with robust networks and capabilities in providing consistent, high-quality laundering services would find growth opportunities by targeting such procurement processes.
