Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council procured the supply of high-quality, ethically sourced linen products for the Turkish Baths facility in Harrogate. The requirement covers spa linen, bath sheets and bathrobes, with associated textile products including cotton, bed linen, sheets and towels (CPV 39500000: textile articles). This is a goods contract for delivery in North Yorkshire, serving the council’s Turkish Baths operation. The requirement concerns the supply of physical products rather than laundering, facilities management or other bathhouse services. Suppliers with capabilities in manufacturing, wholesaling or distributing commercial-quality towels, sheets, bathrobes and related linen products would be relevant, particularly those able to provide ethically sourced textiles and maintain consistent product quality for an operational public-sector facility.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. SIX LINEN LIMITED was selected, and the contract was signed on 21 September 2026. The award and contract value are £200,000 gross (£166,666 excluding VAT). The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two possible extensions: 1 October 2029 to 30 September 2031, and 1 October 2031 to 30 September 2033. Price carried 70% of the evaluation, with delivery management, end-of-life management and key performance indicators each carrying 10%. The contract is active and covers one completed lot. Its performance measures include delivery adherence, product quality, product durability and complaint-resolution response and resolution, reviewed quarterly.

This award shows that North Yorkshire Council buys ethically sourced, high-quality linen for a public Turkish Baths facility through a straightforward open competition, with price the dominant evaluation factor. A credible future supplier would need dependable access to commercial spa linen, bath sheets, bathrobes, towels, sheets and other cotton textile products, together with robust quality and durability controls. Evidence of reliable delivery management would matter, as would a practical approach to end-of-life management for textile products. Suppliers should also be able to define and monitor measurable service performance, including delivery adherence and timely acknowledgement and resolution of complaints. The requirement was assessed as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that smaller specialist textile suppliers may be well placed if they can demonstrate consistent supply and responsible sourcing.
