## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham recently concluded a public procurement process for laundry services, which progressed to the award stage on 26th August 2025. This process involved a below-threshold limited competition tender, inviting proposals to support the Durham and Darlington area. The successful supplier, ELIS UK LIMITED, is set to commence services on 15th September 2025, with the contract initially running until 14th September 2027. The procurement falls under the services category, with an option for renewal and potential service extension until September 2029. Located primarily in Durham, the procurement initiative adheres to the UK's new Procurement Act, benefitting from a structured approach tailored to the needs of the sub-central government sector.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses in the laundry and dry-cleaning industry, particularly those positioned to provide comprehensive laundry solutions and services across specific regions. Large-scale companies with capacity and efficiency to meet public authority needs, like ELIS UK LIMITED, typically have an advantage in this type of procurement setting. Other businesses aiming to expand their portfolio by servicing public sector clients can look towards similar competitive opportunities where specialised services are required, particularly within regulated service provision frameworks. The procurement's contractual flexibility, including optionality on linen rental services, allows for potential business growth avenues within established agreements.
