The buying organisation, Lancashire Renewables Limited, is a public authority classified as sub-central government, based in Leyland, United Kingdom. The tender involves workwear and laundry management services, with an estimated contract value of up to £720,000. Key milestones include an engagement phase with a deadline of 16 December 2025. Suppliers are invited to express their interest via the Proactis system. The contract is expected to commence in autumn 2026, with an initial term of 3-4 years, potentially extendable by an additional 3-4 years. The procurement method could be an open tender or competitive flexible procedure, contingent on market capability. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacture, supply, or management of occupational clothing and workwear services. Companies with capabilities in providing durable, compliant, and branded workwear, as well as those offering comprehensive managed services including laundering and repair, would be well-suited to this contract. The process allows for both fully managed and hybrid service models, making it accessible for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Businesses that can meet the high standards of safety, comfort, and sustainability requirements have the chance to secure a potentially long-term partnership with Lancashire Renewables Limited, fostering business growth through stable and recurring revenue streams. ## Notice LRL is considering a comprehensive workwear solution to ensure that staff across its Leyland (PR26 6TB) and Thornton (FY5 7RY) sites are equipped with appropriate, durable, and safe clothing. The workwear is worn across multiple operational areas and must meet industry-specific health and safety specifications (Hi-vis clothing, minimum class 2 or above). The key criteria for the workwear revolve around material composition, durability, comfort, and compliance. Garments must be resistant to wear and tear, suitable for repeated laundering, and maintain their protective properties over time. The workwear will likely require embroidering or printing with LRL's corporate branding. A fully managed workwear service would provide full lifecycle management, including supply, regular collection, laundering, inspection, repair, and replacement, ensuring that all staff consistently have access to clean, safe, and compliant clothing. It may also include things like personal lockers for the staff, such that clean workwear is available for individual employees. As an alternative to a fully managed service, LRL is also considering a 'hybrid' service. This would limit the scope of the tendered contract with LRL assuming some of the managed services' functions 'in house', for example the laundering or the repairs. The decision regarding how much of the service to outsource depends on several factors including the supply market's capability. It is envisaged that any tendered contract will commence around Autumn 2026. At this stage, LRL is considering an open tender or competitive flexible procedure depending on the market's capability. Any contract awarded is likely to be an initial term of 3-4 years with an option to extend up to a further 3-4 years. The purpose of this notice is to provide advance notice to suppliers who may be interested in LRL's tender opportunity and gather some information to help inform LRL's internal business case and subsequent procurement strategy. Please note this is a draft price and full price will be estimated once we have responses, in the full tender. Any future tender let by LRL will most likely be available on the Proactis tender portal (The Chest). ### Planning Information Should you be interested in this tender opportunity, please respond via Proactis system https://procontract.due-north.com/Login where the additional information has been shared regarding this opportunity.
