Located in Nottingham (UKF14), the Trust engaged in an open competitive flexible procedure to secure a supplier capable of providing textile goods and associated services, including "just in time" delivery due to limited storage space. The procurement has concluded with an award to Interweave Textiles Ltd on 19 December 2025, establishing a contract set to start on 1 January 2026, with an option to extend up to five years. The procurement falls under the goods category, with a contract value ranging up to £3,000,000 and entailed emergency linen provision as part of a business continuity plan for laundry services. This tender offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in textile supply and logistics focused on NHS or healthcare institutions. The contract demands efficient supply chain management and capability in delivering high-quality linen items on a "just in time" basis, presenting growth potential for businesses adept in managing service contracts with critical timelines and quality standards.
