Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is buying laundry chemicals, pumps and tanks for its large in-house laundry facility in Sheffield. The facility processes approximately 632,000 textile items each month to support clinical and patient-care services. This is a supply opportunity for businesses providing laundry chemicals and the associated equipment used to store and pump them. The requirement is classified as laundry supplies (CPV 39291000). The goods will support the Trust’s existing laundry operation rather than a new facility, serving the hospital’s ongoing textile-processing needs. Suppliers should consider whether their product range covers the chemicals, tanks and pumps required for this operational setting and the scale of monthly processing described.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 19 October 2026 at 17:00, and the submission deadline was 9 November 2026 at 13:00. The estimated award decision date was 7 December 2026. The estimated contract period runs from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2030, with two optional 12-month extensions and a maximum possible end date of 3 January 2032. The estimated value is £361,100 excluding VAT (£433,800 including VAT). There is one lot, marked as suitable for SMEs. Quality and social value account for 50% of the evaluation and cost for the remaining 50%. Economic and technical selection requirements are detailed in the procurement documents.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to provide laundry chemicals, tanks and pumps for a high-throughput hospital laundry operation. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, so SMEs may compete. The facility’s stated monthly textile volume gives suppliers a practical indication of the operational setting their products will support. The procurement sets economic and technical selection requirements, while the evaluation gives equal weight to quality and social value and to cost. Suppliers with a relevant product range and the ability to support a large in-house laundry operation are the clearest fit.
