Tender description

The scope of the contract is Provision and Storage of Clean Linen including, but not limited to bedding, towels and patient garments (The Goods). The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Authority) requires a Supplier to provide the Goods and Associated Services in accordance with its specification. The Associated Services includes a requirement for “just in time” delivery.

Emergency Linen shall be relied upon in Emergency/Urgent Requests whereby the Authority’s internal laundry services teams are unable to launder linen (E.g. due to machinery breakdown). This Emergency Linen must be available for delivery to the Authority’s Site(s) within 24 hours of request. ## Contract award Title: Supply of Bedding, Linen, Towels and Associated Services 2026 - 2031 (C387742)
