UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Progress Housing Group Limited, a sub-central government public authority based in Leyland, United Kingdom, initiated a procurement process for Linen & Laundry Services under legal basis 2023/54. This tender falls under the industry category of services with an emphasis on textiles and laundry, and it was conducted using an open competitive procurement method. The process, initially active with a planned contract period from 6th April 2026 to 5th April 2029, was unfortunately terminated as noted in the tender cancellation notice published on 29th May 2026. This contract, valued at £84,000 (gross £105,000), included potential for a two-year extension beyond the primary three-year period, aiming to provide high-quality linen hire and laundering services for accommodation facilities.

This tender offered significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laundry and textile services, especially those capable of enhancing guest experience through professional linen management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly stood to benefit, given the suitability provisions in the tender. With award criteria focusing 50% on cost, 40% on technical quality, and 10% on social value, businesses with efficient, quality-driven operations capable of delivering cost-effective solutions would have been well-positioned to compete effectively. Despite the contract's cancellation, understanding the specifications and requirements could still offer valuable insights for future tender opportunities in similar service categories.
