Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply, acting on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), is planning a procurement process titled "The Supply of Ropes" in the industry category of cordage, rope, twine, and netting (CPV code 39541000). This procurement process is currently at the planning stage, as indicated by the Prior Information Notice (PIN) published on 14th November 2024. The procurement is intended to commence in early 2026 and run until January 2030, covering locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the rest of the world, and the United Kingdom. The estimated value of the framework agreement ranges between £3,000,000 and £7,400,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses capable of supplying synthetic and natural ropes, threads, elasticated cords, and related products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to express interest, as this could lead to substantial business growth through collaboration with Leidos Supply. Companies involved in the production or distribution of such materials may find this procurement well-suited to their capabilities, providing a chance to engage with a major defence contract and potentially secure multi-year supply agreements under a high-value framework. Interested parties should respond to the PIN with their company details and supply capabilities as part of the market research phase.
