Frequently asked questions

Textile & Laundry Supply

What does a textile supply tender cover?

Typically: workwear and personal protective equipment, laundry services for facilities (e.g. hospitals, care homes), and textile management with logistics and RFID tracking. The scope determines the procurement procedure and the level of detail required in the specification.

Which standards apply to textile supply services?

Key references include RAL-GZ 992 for commercial laundry, hygiene standards under RKI guidelines (for medical facilities), and OEKO-TEX and GOTS certifications for ecological requirements. These must be carefully translated into eligibility and performance requirements.

How can quality in textile supply be contractually secured?

Through labelling obligations, RFID traceability, defined delivery cycles, loss liability provisions and regular quality inspections. Textile supply has high day-to-day relevance — quality assurance must be operationally tangible.

Can textile supply and other services be tendered together?

In individual cases yes, for example when laundry and cleaning are bundled with a large provider. More often, separate tendering is preferable: the markets are differently structured and bundling can significantly restrict the field of tenderers.
