## Summary

Direct Rail Services Limited has awarded a contract for the provision of rental and laundry services for rail-approved hi-visibility garments to Johnsons Workwear. The procurement process has moved to the award stage as of 11th November 2024, with the contract value set at £162,000. This service includes weekly collection and re-delivery to locations across the UK, including Carlisle, Crewe, Motherwell, York, and Daventry. The contract period starts on 1st December 2024 and runs until 30th November 2027. The procurement method used was a competitive quotation under the limited procedure, focusing on washing and dry-cleaning services classified under CPV code 98310000. The tender, initially published on 9th September 2024, had its submission period ending on 11th October 2024.

This tender creates significant opportunities for suppliers in the laundry and textile rental sector, particularly those capable of meeting the rigorous standards required for rail-approved hi-vis garments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to participate, presenting growth potential through recurring service engagements over a three-year period. Businesses located or operating within the North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, and Scotland would be well-positioned to compete, given the geographic service requirements stipulated in the contract. Additionally, the specified competitive quotation method below the threshold allows a broader participation scope, fostering inclusivity and ensuring the involvement of capable smaller organisations.
