Laundry services for Kvinesdal municipality.

Background Kvinesdal municipality shall procure a new procurement of laundry services in order to ensure the continuation of necessary services to the municipality ́s entities when the current agreements expire. The procurement shall contribute to the municipality getting an updated and regulatory contract that safeguards the municipality ́s need for stable, efficient and hygienically justifiable laundry services. The municipality currently has contracts for both laundry services and hire and laundry of work wear. The services are particularly used within the health and welfare sector, but may also include other municipal entities. There is therefore a need for a comprehensive agreement that provides predictable operation, clear logistics routines and good follow-up of quality, deviations and costs in the contract period. The procurement must also allow the municipality to clarify the final extent, volume and which entities will be included when the contract is initiated. In addition the municipality will assess how considerations to the environment, transport, use of resources and social sustainability can best be taken care of within the procurement. Description of the assignment The assignment is for the provision of laundry services for Kvinesdal municipality through a combined contract for the municipality ́s ongoing needs. The delivery shall mainly include hire, laundry and distribution of work wear, as well as other relevant laundry services for the entities included in the contract. The procurement includes, among other things, handling work clothes and possibly flat textiles, with the accompanying services such as collection, washing, delivery, sorting and other necessary textile handling. The contract ́s final extent will be further defined in the tender documentation, including which units are included, which textile types and service elements are included, and whether work clothes shall be rented or owned by the municipality. Delivery is requested that ensures good quality, appropriate logistics and documented hygienic handling of textiles in the entire value chain. The service shall support the municipality ́s need for predictable supply, simple follow-up of consumption and costs, as well as a practical and reliable system for the relevant entities. The contract is planned to be signed well before the delivery starts in order to give the chosen tenderer the necessary time for investments, establishment and preparation of the delivery. The ordinary delivery start is estimated to 01.01.2028. The two year contract period, with options for one plus one year, will be calculated from this date. The competition is reserved for entities or programmes that mainly integrate disabled or disadvantaged persons in working life, where at least 30 percent of the employees have a disability or are disadvantaged, cf. the procurement regulations § 8-8 / § 16-9 / § 30-3.
