All UK public sector organisations can use this framework, including the wider public sector, central government and third sector organisations such as registered charities.

Buyers can choose from 3 lots using 1 lot or a combination of lots to suit their requirement.The lots provide a range of services to a set of specific standards which include wash, finish, collection and return of linen, and laundry services.

Buyers are required to run a further competition, however lot 1 does have a direct award facility providing the buyer’s needs meet the criteria. This option can be useful if you need a short-term solution while the buyer carries out a more comprehensive review of their needs.
