Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work.

What the notice says

SUPC is exploring the viability of a potential framework agreement. The scope of this tender is the procurement of Laundry Equipment, services, supporting infrastructure and maintenance/repair of the associated equipment. Domestic equipment and the hire of linen or linen services is not covered by this tender. Rather than focusing solely on the purchase of equipment, the proposed framework aims to provide access to a range of complementary products and services that institutions may procure individually or in combination, depending on their operational requirements. At this stage, the proposed scope may include: commercial laundry equipment; managed laundry services and concession models; payment and digital technology platforms; maintenance and repair services; installation and commissioning; associated consultancy and technical advice; sustainability reporting and asset management support.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
