Summary of the contracting process

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester procured a managed rental service for mops, clothing and coveralls used by its Radiopharmacy Department. The requirement is classified as laundry-operation services and covers the supply, rental and associated laundering of reusable items needed in a radiopharmacy environment. This is a specialist support service for an NHS hospital department rather than a purchase of laundry equipment or general cleaning services. The work is centred on the Trust’s radiopharmacy operations in Manchester. Businesses active in healthcare linen, controlled-environment clothing rental, industrial laundering or specialist textile services would find the requirement relevant, particularly where they can provide and maintain reusable mops, garments and coveralls for clinical or technical settings.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to Rental of mops, clothes & coveralls for use in the Radiopharmacy Dept, with the award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 29 May 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Its value is £42,000 excluding VAT and £50,400 including VAT. The award date is not separately recorded, but the signed contract confirms the selected supplier and agreed terms. The service falls within laundry-operation services. The process therefore records an established requirement and an active contract rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids.

This award shows recurring demand from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for specialist textile rental and laundering supporting radiopharmacy operations. A credible future competitor would need to supply reusable mops, clothing and coveralls reliably, manage collection and return cycles, and provide consistent laundry processing for a clinical or controlled working environment. Relevant capability includes healthcare or cleanroom textile services, stock control, garment and mop replacement, contamination-conscious handling, and dependable delivery to an NHS site. Experience serving hospital departments or other regulated environments would help demonstrate operational understanding. Larger laundry operators may be well placed because the requirement depends on sustained service capacity, reliable logistics and continuity of supply.
