Summary of the contracting process

The current procurement process undertaken by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust pertains to the direct award extension for linen and laundry services, titled "NHS FHFT L&L." This contract extension, valued at £1,714,389 gross, is specifically designed to ensure the uninterrupted provision of vital services to patients, particularly in light of the Trust's new Community Diagnostic Centre in Slough. The contracting process, already in the award stage as of 20th November 2025, is aimed at continuing these essential services through a direct award to Elis UK Limited. The six-month extension starts from 3rd December 2025 and is expected to end by 30th May 2026, covering multiple regions across the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies involved in service provision related to linen and laundry operations within the healthcare sector. As the contract involves a direct award due to its critical nature, businesses looking to compete in similar future opportunities should focus on maintaining compliance with procurement regulations and ensuring they have the capacity to meet the needs of healthcare providers. Large-scale businesses with established capabilities in delivering laundry-operation services across multiple regions would be well-suited to this opportunity, as demonstrated by the appointment of Elis UK Limited as the supplier for this extension.
