To develop a comprehensive specification for modern and up-to-date equipment, we are issuing this market sounding for Continuous Batch Washers for the purpose of releasing two tenders in the new year.

Project goals

The objective of this market sounding is to gather information on the latest technology and equipment available to replace two continuous batch washers (CBW) at the Illawarra and Wagga linen sites. This replacement is intended to improve operational efficiency, increase production capacity, and ensure the continued provision of high-quality linen services to our clients. The upgraded CBW will be selected to meet industry standards while optimising resource use, particularly energy and water consumption, thereby contributing to both cost reductions and environmental sustainability.

At the conclusion of this market sounding process, NSW Linen Services intend to further develop a statement of requirements that incorporates industry feedback in respect to the feasibility of a procurement activity, the capability of the market, the existence of a competitive market and the capacity of the market to meet the requirements for release in an open tender.
