Institutional Linen procurement guide
Institutional linen is supplied in commercial quality for hospitals, schools and accommodation facilities. Procurement should define the required material/form, end use and acceptance basis rather than rely on a broad home & institutional textiles label.
End use and construction
The listed applications are Hospital and healthcare linen, Boarding and student accommodation, Staff housing and camps and Institutional bedding supply. State the actual substrate, process, project location or finished article because it determines the relevant grade, dimensions, finish and performance criteria.
Material, performance and approval
Use the quotation to record the selected values and acceptance basis for Bed sizes and item quantities, Fabric weight and composition, Laundering and durability requirements, Marking and identification requirements and Delivery schedule. Those fields vary by source or configuration; any test report, datasheet, certificate or sample needed for approval must be named in the enquiry rather than assumed.
Packing, labelling and production delivery
Define unit size and quantity basis, protective packing, labels and batch/lot traceability, pallet or bundle limits, moisture/temperature or hazardous-goods controls where applicable, unloading method, storage and phased site or production delivery.

Provide end use and required form, Bed sizes and item quantities, Fabric weight and composition, Laundering and durability requirements, Marking and identification requirements and Delivery schedule, quantity by size or variant, packing, destination and delivery sequence, inspection/sampling basis and required technical, safety or conformity records.
