Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council, acting as the buying organisation, has been involved in a contracting process titled "Provision of workwear cleaning and laundry." This process is situated within the clothing industry, focusing on the provision and maintenance of workwear. The procurement, initially commenced with a direct method below the threshold without competition, has reached the contract amendment stage as of 1st September 2025. This follows an award made to Johnsons Workwear, a large supplier based in Gateshead. Key timelines include the initial contract period from 6th May 2025, with amendments reflecting ongoing requirements extending up to 30th October 2026. Located in Middlesbrough, the initiative addresses the procurement needs of a sub-central government public authority, with specific legal references under UK legislation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in textile services, workwear, and laundry solutions. Larger businesses with established logistics and capabilities in managing extensive contracts may find this procurement beneficial for expansion into governmental work. The direct procurement method indicates a requirement for suppliers who can promptly meet the Council’s needs with minimal competitive constraints. Enterprises capable of sustaining long-term service commitments and offering bespoke clothing solutions tailored to municipal standards will be well-suited for such contracting opportunities. Additionally, businesses looking to reinforce relationships within local government sectors can leverage this tender to secure a foothold in the public procurement landscape.
