## Summary

The Manchester City Council has recently completed the procurement process for the provision of linen services at the Manchester Central Convention Complex Limited. The procurement, which falls under the industry category of 'Table linen' (CPV: 39513000), employed an open procedure and attracted a minimum contract value of £300,000 with an actual awarded value of £334,000. The contract, which will run from 1st September 2024 to 31st August 2027, was awarded to Table Linen Company Ltd. The service will cover various event types including banquets, conferences, and exhibitions, with notable responsiveness required from the contractor, including the potential for same-day deliveries. Key dates included the tender period ending on 26th July 2024 and sample deliveries for quality testing between 15th and 22nd July 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in linen services, particularly those capable of handling large-scale and last-minute event requirements. With an estimated annual spend of £100k contingent on event demands, it's an attractive opportunity for suppliers looking to enter or expand within the events industry. The three-year duration, with an optional two-year extension, ensures a stable business relationship for the successful supplier. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organisations from the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sector are also considered suitable to compete for tenders of this nature, fostering inclusive economic growth in the region.
