Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "The Supply of Lab Equipment." This future contract, intended to be initiated in mid-2026 and lasting up to four years, falls under the industry category of Laboratory, optical and precision equipment. It encompasses an estimated value between £1.3 million and £3.5 million. The equipment will be delivered across various locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the rest of the world, and the United Kingdom. The contracting authority seeks market input and information via a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform the future tender. Interested suppliers are invited to respond by providing details about their company and where they source their goods by 4th November 2024.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as the potential framework agreement foresees significant procurement volumes and strategic partnerships with the UK Ministry of Defence. Companies specializing in lab equipment and with an established supply chain that can meet the high standards and confidentiality requirements set by the MOD are well-suited to compete. Despite the uncertain guarantee of business within the framework contract, the collaboration with Leidos and the UK MOD can offer long-term partnerships and increased market visibility.
