Summary of the contracting process

NHS Tayside is procuring a fully managed laundry detergent dosing system for Tayside Linen Services at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee. The requirement covers supply, installation and commissioning of the system, ongoing maintenance, and provision of the chemicals it uses. The system will support continuous processing of healthcare linen, including infection prevention, operational resilience and regulatory compliance. This is a goods procurement, centred on a specialist laundry dosing system rather than a general supply of detergents. The service element means the opportunity also suits suppliers able to take responsibility for installation, ongoing system performance and chemical supply as an integrated package.

NHS Tayside invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement has reached the tender stage. Bids were to be submitted electronically by 9 November 2026 at 12:00, with the evaluation period scheduled to begin at that time. The contract is expected to start on 1 April 2027, for an initial five-year term, with an option to extend by a further five years. The stated initial duration is 1,800 days. The tender describes one lot covering the managed system and associated services. The selection criterion is suitability, with requirements set out in the specification. Bidders must provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the contract; variants are not permitted, and an electronic catalogue is required. Community benefits form part of the requirement.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers with the technical capability to provide and install commercial laundry detergent dosing equipment, commission it for operational use, and maintain it as a managed service. Suppliers also need the capacity to provide the chemicals required by Tayside Linen Services and support reliable, continuous linen processing in a healthcare environment. Relevant experience should demonstrate that the supplier can help maintain infection prevention standards, operational resilience and regulatory compliance. The requirement calls for named delivery staff and their qualifications, so bidders should be ready to identify the personnel who will perform the work. Its integrated supply-and-service scope favours businesses able to coordinate equipment, installation, maintenance and chemical provision under one arrangement. Community benefits are included in the requirement.
