UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Dyfed-Powys intends to arrange laundry services for six police custody suites in Brecon, Llanelli, Haverfordwest, Aberystwyth, Cardigan and Newtown. The requirement covers collecting, laundering and delivering various items used in the suites. It is intended to operate through a framework of providers, with requirements called off as needed. The procurement is for services, classified under washing and dry-cleaning services. Suppliers may be able to support one or more custody suites, rather than needing to cover the entire Dyfed-Powys area. The work will be delivered in Wales across the named custody-suite locations, so businesses should assess their collection, processing and delivery coverage in each area they could serve.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a preliminary market-engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to publish the next notice on 1 October 2026. A remote engagement session with Dyfed-Powys Police representatives and Business Wales is scheduled for 13 August 2026 at 2:30pm via Teams. The expected framework contract period is 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2029, with a possible extension until 31 May 2032. The published estimated value is £60,000, with a gross value of £612,000, both in GBP. The process is below the relevant threshold and is planned as one lot. The lot is planned to allow renewal and use of a framework agreement.

This will suit commercial laundries and specialist textile-service providers with the capacity to collect, process and return police custody-suite items reliably. Businesses do not need to cover every location: the buyer is specifically seeking interest from suppliers able to serve one or more suites at a time. Providers with established transport routes and processing facilities covering Brecon, Llanelli, Haverfordwest, Aberystwyth, Cardigan or Newtown should be well placed to prepare. The requirement may suit small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Potential participants should consider their ability to manage recurring collection and delivery schedules, maintain consistent laundering standards, handle operational demands across custody environments and participate in a multi-provider framework when the procurement reaches the market.
