Summary of the contracting process

NHS Fife is buying a fully inclusive liquid chemical dosing system on a lease for laundry operations. The requirement covers supplying, installing and commissioning the system, then maintaining it and providing ongoing support. The supplier must also provide all detergents and associated chemicals needed for the system. This is a goods procurement with an associated installation and support service. NHS Fife is the buying organisation. The delivery location is within NHS Fife’s area in Scotland; no specific delivery site is identified in the available location details.

NHS Fife invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically, with the submission deadline set for 2 November 2026 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value is £1,180,000. The initial contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2034, with an option for NHS Fife to extend it by up to three further periods of 12 months each. There is one lot, covering the complete system, chemicals and service requirement. The stated evaluation criteria are service delivery, weighted at 60, and price, also stated as 60. The tender also gives a bid validity end date of 1 February 2027.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to provide liquid chemical dosing systems for laundry use together with the detergents and related chemicals they require. The supplier needs to be capable of installing and commissioning the equipment and delivering maintenance and ongoing support over a long-term contract. The inclusive requirement favours businesses able to coordinate equipment, consumables and continuing service rather than supply equipment alone. Service delivery is a central part of the stated evaluation, alongside price. No particular accreditation, minimum capacity or prior experience requirement is stated in the procurement details provided.
