Notice Details

NYC Health + Hospitals is seeking a partner for the provision and management of laundry and linen services, inclusive of the provision of staff located within each facility managing the end-to-end processes of laundry and linen in each facility. The program will service the 11 Acute Care Hospitals “Hospital”, five Skilled Nursing Facilities “SNF”, and one Long Term Acute Care Hospital “LTACH”, listed in Appendix XX. NYC Health + Hospitals vision is a seamless process through the cycle of this service, inclusive of the daily delivery of hygienically clean linen to each facility, the par-level based delivery of linen to each patient care unit, timely soiled linen collection, communication up and down the organization including linen committee management, staff in-servicing, and utilization reporting with appropriate use of technology. The program also includes the provision of automated “scrubs” dispensing machines, for staff working in the perioperative services, labor/delivery, and the emergency departments, at 9 of the 11 acute care settings. At the SNF and LTAC locations, in addition to the linen program, the service also includes the pick-up, laundering, and return of resident clothing. The pick-up and return should occur three times each week, for each of these facilities. In addition to the timely delivery and collection of linen and laundry, including resident clothing, outcomes include patient, staff and visitor safety by assuring compliance with all regulatory requirements and accreditation standards, effective organizational and staff communication, and uniformity in all services, programs, and cost control methods throughout NYC Health + Hospitals’ Laundry and Linen operations. Any non-management personnel recruited and assigned to this program, will be either a unionized employee or be paid prevailing wages as consistent with NYC Health + Hospitals collective bargaining agreements and applicable law.
