## Summary

The Mid South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, in partnership with HealthTrust Europe LLP, is in the planning stage of a public procurement process to establish a Framework Agreement for Linen and Laundry Services across the UK public sector. This substantial tender, estimated at a gross value of £120 million, is structured with multiple lots including services such as Total Linen & Laundry Managed Service and Linen Hire & Asset Management, among others.

Important upcoming dates include a future notice date set for 29th June 2026, with the planned contract period starting on 30th September 2026 and potentially extending to 2030.
