Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Sleeper Limited is inviting tenders for providing laundry services for bedding and towels utilised on their trains, with operations centred around two key locations: Glasgow and London. This procurement process, currently at the tender stage, calls for submissions by 18 April 2025. The contract is categorised under railway services and involves a selective procurement method using a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. The total contract value is estimated at £2,500,000, with individual lots valued at £833,382 and £1,600,000 for the Glasgow Polmadie Depot and London Wembley Depot respectively. The successful contractor will carry out tasks such as collection, inspection, laundering, and re-delivery of items with the contracts running for 720 days and a potential one-year extension.

The tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in large-scale laundry services and supply chain logistics, particularly those with expertise in handling contracts within the railway and hospitality sectors. Companies capable of ensuring high standards of quality, as indicated by the requirement for sample processing items and competitive pricing, are well-suited to compete for these lots. Moreover, organisations with experience in electronic submissions and ordering are advantageous, given the procurement's emphasis on electronic response and invoicing policies. This is an excellent opportunity for enterprises aiming to expand their services within the UK rail industry.
