Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is seeking to hire commercial laundry equipment for CTCRM: 30 commercial washing machines and 30 commercial tumble dryers. This is a rental requirement for goods, rather than a purchase of equipment. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement is arranged as a single lot, covering the full requirement for both types of machine.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. This is a below-threshold procurement, evaluated to identify the most advantageous tender using financial and technical criteria. The buyer set 28 October 2026 at 10:00 for enquiries and 4 November 2026 at 10:00 for tender submissions. Tenders are to be submitted through the Defence Sourcing Portal. The initial contract period is 20 November 2026 to 19 November 2027, with optional additional years under consideration, subject to funding approval, for a total possible period of three years. The estimated value is £50,850 excluding VAT (£61,020 including VAT). Tenderers are expected to return a completed response form before evaluation.

This requirement is suited to suppliers that rent commercial laundry equipment and can provide 30 washing machines and 30 tumble dryers as one package. Businesses with access to suitable commercial-grade machines and the operational capacity to supply the complete equipment set are well placed to consider it. The potential for optional additional years may suit providers able to support a continuing rental arrangement, though any extension depends on funding approval. The evaluation considers both financial and technical aspects, so suppliers should be prepared to set out their offer and its technical merits in the response form.
