UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is procuring the rental of commercial laundry equipment for CTCRM: 30 commercial washing machines and 30 commercial tumble dryers. The requirement is for equipment hire rather than a purchase of machines. The work is associated with the Ministry of Defence in Portsmouth, and delivery is stated as being in the United Kingdom. The equipment will support laundry operations at CTCRM. This is a single-lot requirement covering both washing and drying machines, so suppliers need to be able to provide the full stated combination of equipment. The procurement is categorised as goods, but the commercial requirement is to rent the machines and provide the contracted supply for the site.

The Ministry of Defence invited offers through an open competition, and the process reached the tender stage. The enquiry deadline was 16 November 2026 at 10:00, and the tender submission deadline was 23 November 2026 at 10:00. The stated contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2027, with optional additional years under consideration if funding is approved; the description allows extensions up to three years in total. The estimated value is £152,550 excluding VAT and £183,060 including VAT. There is one lot. The authority will identify the most advantageous tender using financial and technical evaluation. A completed tender response form is required before evaluation, and bids are to be submitted through the Defence Sourcing Portal.

This opportunity is suited to commercial laundry equipment rental providers able to supply and support a sizeable fleet of 30 commercial washing machines and 30 commercial tumble dryers for a Ministry of Defence site. Suppliers need the operational capacity to provide both equipment types together and to meet the requirements set out in the tender schedule and response form. The financial and technical elements of the offer both matter, so bidders should be able to demonstrate a credible equipment solution as well as competitive commercial terms. The potential for a multi-year relationship may suit providers equipped to sustain the rental service beyond the initial year, subject to funding approval. The stated requirement is concentrated at CTCRM, making it relevant to suppliers able to deliver to a UK location and manage the associated equipment hire.
