## Summary

NHS Tayside is procuring a fully managed laundry detergent dosing system for Tayside Linen Services. The requirement covers supply, installation and commissioning of the equipment, ongoing maintenance, and provision of the chemicals it uses. The system will support continuous processing of healthcare linen and associated infection-prevention standards, operational resilience and regulatory compliance. Delivery and service are centred on Ninewells Hospital in Dundee. This is a goods procurement, but the work also involves installation, commissioning and continuing support rather than equipment supply alone. Suppliers should consider whether they can provide the complete managed system and chemical supply for a healthcare linen operation.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 9 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bids were also scheduled to be opened at that time, with evaluation starting then. The contract is expected to begin on 1 April 2027 and run for an initial five years, with an option to extend for a further five years. No contract value is stated. There is one lot covering the managed dosing system and related services. The suitability criteria are set out in the specification, and economic and technical selection criteria are identified. Bids must be submitted electronically in English; electronic catalogues are required and variants are not permitted. Staff names and qualifications must be provided. Bids must remain valid until 1 April 2027.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to deliver an integrated laundry dosing solution: equipment supply, installation, commissioning, maintenance and the chemicals required to operate the system. It calls for the capacity to support a business-critical healthcare linen service continuously, with an understanding of infection prevention, operational resilience and regulatory compliance. Providers with relevant experience maintaining dosing systems in demanding laundry or healthcare settings may be well placed to address the requirement, alongside the ability to ensure dependable chemical provision. The specification sets the suitability requirements, and bidders must provide staff names and qualifications, so suppliers should be able to identify appropriately qualified personnel for delivery and support. Community benefits are included in the requirement.
