Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership Limited bought laundry equipment repairs, maintenance and servicing for laundry facilities at its properties. The requirement covers washing, dry-cleaning and drying machines, including associated installation services. Delivery is across properties in England: the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a nationwide, multi-region service requirement for a housing organisation, rather than a single-site maintenance job. It is relevant to businesses that can service and maintain commercial laundry equipment across a broad geographic area and support equipment installed at multiple properties owned or managed by The Guinness Partnership.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold contract. WASHCO Limited was selected as the supplier for the single requirement. The award is active and the contract was signed on 18 August 2026. The contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £58,333.33 excluding VAT, or £70,000 including VAT. The procurement used one lot and the requirement was treated as a services contract. The published outcome records installation services for laundry washing, dry-cleaning and drying machines. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded because the route was a direct award without competition.

This award shows that The Guinness Partnership uses a direct, below-threshold route for multi-region laundry equipment servicing and can appoint an SME supplier for the work. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in repairing, maintaining and servicing washing, dry-cleaning and drying machines, together with the ability to organise responsive coverage across England. The geographic spread indicates that suppliers should have adequate field-service capacity, engineer availability and logistics for properties in all major English regions. Experience managing dispersed housing-property estates would help demonstrate that the supplier can maintain consistent service levels across many locations, rather than only support one commercial premises or local site.
