Contractors must check and certify electrical isolators, service water valves and dryer ventilation, replacing flexible duct with rigid duct and repairing or replacing external vents as needed. The scope also includes relocating up to seven existing machines within the borough, user instruction posters, machine spares lists and operation and maintenance manuals, plus alterations to plinths and making good after installation. Equipment must be installed in single rows, not stacked.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition for one lot. The enquiry deadline was 20 November 2026 at 12:00 and the submission deadline was 24 November 2026 at 12:00.

The contractor will need to inspect and maintain existing infrastructure, manage removal and disposal, and coordinate any relocation of retained machines between schemes in Hillingdon. Capability to modify plinths, make good finishes, provide user guidance and produce machine-specific spares lists and operation and maintenance manuals is also required. The supplier must support the equipment with a minimum 12-month warranty and servicing every six months in that initial period, while meeting applicable manufacturer, industry and safety standards, including BS7671 for electrical isolators and the Equality Act 2010.
