UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ipswich Borough Council is seeking rental services for commercial washing machines and tumble dryers. The requirement covers the provision of laundry washing and drying machines and their installation, for use in Suffolk. It is a service contract rather than a purchase of equipment outright. The listed scope groups the requirement as one lot. The council is the buying organisation and the work is intended for delivery in Suffolk. Suppliers of commercial laundry equipment rental and associated installation services should consider whether they can provide the required machines and service across the contract term.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 11am on 13 October 2026, and the tender submission deadline was 11am on 22 October 2026. The contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2031. The estimated value is £70,000 excluding VAT and £84,000 including VAT. The procurement is divided into one lot, with award based entirely on price. Electronic submission is permitted through the Suffolk Sourcing portal. Participation is reserved for suppliers located in Suffolk.

This opportunity is best suited to suppliers able to rent commercial washing machines and tumble dryers and arrange installation in Suffolk. The single-lot structure makes the requirement a contract for the complete listed scope, rather than a set of separately competed equipment categories. The five-year contract period may suit businesses able to maintain a rental service over a sustained term. The stated evaluation basis is price alone, so suppliers need a commercially competitive offer for the required rental and installation services. No particular accreditation, technical qualification or prior experience requirement is stated in the published procurement details.
