# Laundry chemical dosing system lease for NHS Fife

NHS Fife is seeking a fully inclusive liquid chemical dosing system lease, including supply, installation, commissioning, maintenance and ongoing support, plus the required detergents and associated chemicals. The notice has one lot for Fife (UKM72). It describes a seven-year initial term starting 1 April 2027, with up to three further 12-month extensions. The public OCDS record gives a value of GBP 1.18 million; its tax treatment and whether the figure includes extension options are not stated. The stated criteria entries have an unexplained separate price value, so the record does not establish normalized weights. Deadline: 2 November 2026, 12:00 UTC.
