Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lanarkshire is procuring the replacement of the infected-linen continuous batch washer line at the West of Scotland Laundry. The requirement covers the equipment and associated services, with the successful contractor becoming a key service partner for the life of the equipment. This is a goods-led industrial laundry equipment opportunity, including installation or related provision needed to replace the existing line. Suppliers must also address the laundry’s gas-drying capacity through two priced options: retaining four gas dryers, or increasing the number to five to improve throughput, meet potential future demand and provide contingency. The work will be delivered at the West of Scotland Laundry. NHS Lanarkshire Health Board is the buying organisation, and the procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

The procurement has reached tender: NHS Lanarkshire invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. The closing deadline, amended to allow coordination with potential subcontractors, is 28 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC; tenders are scheduled to be opened at the same time. The estimated value is £1.7 million. The initial contract period is 2,040 days, with an option for NHS Lanarkshire to extend it by up to a further 60 months, in increments decided by the Board. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. One lot is identified, and variants are not allowed. Evaluation is weighted 60% to overall quality and technical criteria and 40% to price. The tender also requires proposed staff names and qualifications and includes suitability requirements set out in the tender documents.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, integrators and specialist contractors experienced in continuous batch washing systems and industrial healthcare laundry equipment. Strong candidates will be able to replace an infected-linen processing line in an operational laundry environment and provide the associated goods and services through the equipment’s working life. The requirement calls for practical proposals for two gas-dryer configurations, so suppliers should have the technical capability to assess throughput, future demand and contingency needs, then price both solutions clearly. The evaluation gives quality and technical performance greater weight than price, favouring businesses able to demonstrate a robust technical solution, dependable delivery capability and suitably qualified personnel. Bidders should be prepared to provide relevant examples, complete the required suitability information and manage any specialist subcontractors involved.
