The requirement is for laundry supplies and associated services, including laundry operation, management, collection and washing; the listed scope also includes laundry washing, dry-cleaning and drying machines. The service is for the College in Cambridge. This is a service contract rather than a purchase of laundry supplies alone, so it is relevant to providers able to support the College’s laundry requirements across the service and supply elements. The buyer invited offers through an open competition under the open procedure. The stated submission deadline is 14 October 2026 at 12 noon; the structured tender deadline records the same date with a later time, so bidders should check the tender instructions. The initial contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option to extend for up to a further two years, giving a maximum term of five years. The published estimated value is recorded as zero and does not provide a usable contract price. There is one lot. The award is to be based on the most advantageous bid, assessed against detailed criteria and weightings set out in the tender documents. Offers are submitted electronically through the In-Tend portal. This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to provide laundry consumables and manage or deliver laundry services for a university college. Relevant capability may include laundry collection and operation, management of laundry processes, and washing, dry-cleaning or drying equipment and services, matching the breadth of the listed requirement. The single-lot scope calls for a supplier able to address the overall service rather than bid for a separately identified element. The multi-year arrangement may suit businesses with the capacity to sustain service delivery and supplies over an initial three-year contract and a possible extension. The tender requires completion of both a Procurement Specific Questionnaire and the invitation-to-tender response; bids are evaluated against the detailed criteria and weightings in those documents.
