Located in London, with its main office at Fleet House, 59-61 Clerkenwell Road, Southern Housing serves as a public authority within sub-central government. This procurement process is identified as "Commercial Laundry" and relates to the delivery of services across various regions in the United Kingdom, including UKC to UKK. The current phase involves preliminary market engagement scheduled until 15th May 2026, intended to gather information about available service delivery models and commercial structures within the sector. The engagement will be through an online questionnaire, without seeking pricing or commercial bids at this stage. This market engagement offers unique opportunities for businesses involved in laundry-operation services to showcase innovative service delivery models and gain insights into future procurement options. Companies experienced in supplying, installing, operating, and maintaining commercial laundry equipment would find this engagement particularly beneficial. While this stage does not involve the award of a contract or call for competition, participating businesses can position themselves as potential future partners for Southern Housing, leveraging the insights gained to tailor their services to align with the buyer’s expectations and requirements. ## Notice Southern Housing is undertaking preliminary market engagement to better understand delivery models available within the market for the operation of on-site commercial laundry facilities. The engagement relates to a services concession model, under which a service provider would typically supply, install, operate, maintain and replace laundry equipment, with service users making payment directly to the operator. This engagement is intended solely to inform internal decision-making regarding potential future procurement options. It is not a call for competition and does not commit Southern Housing to any future contracting or procurement activity. No pricing, commercial offers, or bids are being sought as part of this engagement. ### Planning Information This notice relates to preliminary market engagement only in relation to a potential services concession for the operation of on‑site commercial laundry facilities.
