Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow Life (Culture & Sport Glasgow) is seeking a supplier to provide a hire and laundry service for bathrobes and towels at the Glasgow International Arena’s Refresh Spa in Glasgow. The requirement covers supplying hired linen, collecting used items, laundering them and returning them ready for use. This is a service contract for an operator able to manage regular linen hire and commercial laundry activity for a leisure and spa facility. The service is intended to support the spa’s day-to-day operations, so suppliers should be able to provide consistent availability, collection and delivery arrangements, and suitable quality control for bathrobes and towels. Glasgow Life is the buying organisation and the contract has one lot covering the full requirement.

The procurement has reached tender: Glasgow Life invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline was 14 August 2026 at 12:00, when bids were also scheduled to be opened; the award period began at that time. The contract period is 720 days. The estimated value is £150,000. The contract may be extended by a further 24 months, exercised in 12-month intervals, and bids must remain valid for 90 days. Variants are not permitted and submissions must be in English. Participation requires economic and financial standing based on the latest Companies House accounts, including positive pre-tax profit over three years, positive net worth and no insolvency process. Bidders must hold or obtain the required insurance before contract start.

This opportunity suits commercial linen-hire and laundry operators with the capacity to provide dependable, repeat collections and deliveries for a busy leisure venue. Suppliers should have experience handling bathrobes, towels and comparable hospitality or spa linen, with processes for laundering, quality assurance, stock control and service continuity. Financially robust businesses are best placed to compete: the requirements include positive pre-tax profit over three years, positive net worth, compliant statutory filings and no insolvency process, although a qualifying parent guarantee may support a group bidder. Required insurance is employer’s liability of £10 million, plus £5 million each for public and products liability. Suppliers must also meet SPD certification requirements, pay permitted subcontractors within 30 days and offer community benefits such as mentoring, work placements or local support.
