UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Dyfed-Powys is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Engagement - Laundry Provision". The project focuses on reviewing laundering services for six custody suites across Brecon, Llanelli, Haverfordwest, Aberystwyth, Cardigan, and Newtown. Managed under a framework agreement, the planned contract has an estimated value of £612,000 with services anticipated to commence on 1st June 2027 and extend to 31st May 2029, potentially up to 31st May 2032. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically washing and dry-cleaning services, aligning within the public authority sub-central government industry. A remote engagement session is scheduled for 13th August 2026, aiming to brief prospective suppliers on the project.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in laundry services to secure a long-term framework agreement with a public authority. The decentralised nature of the requirement, covering diverse locations, may be particularly suited to businesses capable of servicing multiple sites and offering flexibility in collections and deliveries. Participating in this procurement process could present an opportunity for businesses to expand their services into the public sector, leveraging the framework to build capacity and establish a reliable source of revenue over several years.
