## Summary

Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for the laundering of reusable gowns, a service critical to hospital operations and safety. This project, titled "Laundering of Reusable Gowns," involved organising the laundering, light repairing, and maintenance of splash-proof gowns with a weekly volume averaging around 2400 garments. The project was procured through an open procedure and has been awarded to Swiss Laundry. The contract, valued at £653,184, was signed on 28 April 2025 and is intended for a duration of three years, with options for extension. The service falls under the laundry-collection services category, and operations will be conducted in the Cambridge area, specifically within the UKH1 region.

This tender represents significant growth potential for businesses engaged in laundry and logistics. Companies specialising in healthcare laundry services, light garment repairs, and efficient logistics management are well-suited to benefit from such contracts. The consistent demand for reusable gown laundering ensures a stable business opportunity, while the inclusion of logistics for gown collection and delivery broadens the scope for service providers with robust supply chain capabilities. As hospitals strive for high hygiene standards, businesses that ensure regulatory compliance, possess suitable laundering facilities, and offer comprehensive service packages can strengthen their market position through similar procurement opportunities.
