Summary of the contracting process

NHS Fife is seeking a supplier for a fully inclusive liquid chemical dosing system for laundry use. The requirement covers leasing the system and supplying, installing and commissioning it, then maintaining and supporting it throughout the contract. The supplier must also provide all detergents and associated chemicals needed for the system. This is a supply contract for dosing pumps and related chemicals and services. Delivery is in Fife. The requirement is intended to provide NHS Fife with an installed and supported laundry dosing system alongside the consumables it needs to operate it.

NHS Fife invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submissions. The submission deadline was 2 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the bid opening was set for the same time. The estimated contract value is £1,180,000. The initial contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2034, with an option to extend for up to three further periods of 12 months each. The tender is divided into one lot. The stated evaluation criteria list service delivery at 60%, maintenance, servicing and support at 32.5%, sustainable procurement at 7.5%, and price at 60%. English is the submission language, and variant bids are not allowed.

This requirement suits suppliers able to provide liquid chemical dosing systems for laundry operations, including installation and commissioning, and to supply the required detergents and associated chemicals. Bidders also need to deliver maintenance, servicing and ongoing support over a long-term contract. Service delivery and aftercare are prominent in the listed evaluation criteria, alongside sustainable procurement and price. Suppliers should therefore be able to explain how they will deliver the service, keep the system supported and maintained, and meet the buyer’s sustainability requirements. The scope combines equipment leasing, installation, consumables and continuing technical support, so suppliers with the capacity to provide these elements together are well placed to respond.
