Notice Title
596-NYC-CD Purchase of Linen for Turkish Baths - Request for Information
Notice Description
North Yorkshire Council (the Authority) is requesting information from suppliers to help determine the scope and feasibility of its requirement, to understand the range of potential solutions available in the market, and to assist with drafting a potential future tender specification for the Purchase of Bath and Spa Linen. The Authority is seeking market information on the supply of quality bath and spa linen, including high-quality 450 gsm cotton bath sheets and durable cotton-blend bathrobes and treatment linen (e.g., couch covers, sheets with head holes). The supplies are for use in a premium spa environment (Turkish Baths Harrogate) and must withstand rigorous commercial laundering while maintaining their feel, colour integrity, and functional performance. The objective of this RFI is to gauge market capability, assess potential suppliers' product quality, technical specifications, sustainability credentials, and expertise in managing textile supply for a high-end spa facility. The information gathered will be used to refine the final tender specification and determine a realistic whole-life cost model for the supplies.
