## Summary

The Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for Laundry Services, which falls under the services industry category, specifically Laundry-operation services. This contract, valued at £1,500,000, was directly awarded to Express Linen Services Limited, taking advantage of the SBS framework SBS10503 due to time constraints. The procurement process was limited, bypassing the usual call for competition, and aims to provide laundry services for a period of 12 months while the Trust prepares to go out to tender. Key dates include the contract being signed on the 20th of February 2026, and the delivery location is within Blackpool, UKD42 region.

This direct award creates significant opportunities for businesses in the laundry services industry, particularly those already engaged in public sector contracts or those familiar with working under framework agreements. Firms that possess efficient service delivery and can operate within tight timeframes would be well-suited to compete for future opportunities as the Trust plans to re-tender the contract after the initial 12-month period. The use of streamlined procurement methods highlights the potential for businesses to build relationships with public sector organisations and secure substantial contracts without competing in a full tender process.
