Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Reagents" is being conducted by Leidos Supply, Limited, which is based in Bristol, England. This tender falls under the industry category of reagents and contrast media, with the organisation set to invite tenders for approximately 350 items in September 2017, and the awarded contracts expected to commence in November 2017. Key milestones include an engagement end date on 23 February 2018. The process is currently in the planning stage, where Leidos aims to gather insights and information through a Request for Information (RFI) to inform their requirements better.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses that manufacture or distribute reagents and related products, particularly those that can ensure a swift delivery to various locations across the UK. Companies with capabilities to handle short shelf-life items and those who can offer innovative solutions to reduce costs may find themselves well-positioned to compete. Additionally, firms that can guarantee stock availability and manage logistics effectively are likely to thrive in this competitive environment as Leidos seeks suppliers capable of meeting critical operational demands.

Notice Description

FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS Leidos would like to make interested suppliers aware that it intends to invite tenders for its Reagents requirement in September 2017with a view to awarding Contract(s) that will commence in November 2017. Leidos intends to invite tenders to bid against approximately 350 items. The requirement covers a wide range of reagents from a number of manufacturers, many of which have short shelf lives. Leidos require these to be shipped to approx 200 different locations as well as our main distribution hub in Donnington, Telford. The main requirement is to supply products within industry lead times to these different sites. These should arrive with a good shelf life remaining. Part of the service provided in this distribution hub is the rapid generation of stock for short notice operational deployments. Stock is held in Donnington to facilitate this. However, due to the short shelf life of these products and the relatively low turnover of this stock in Donnington, Leidos are exploring whether this stock is actually best held further up the supply chain. Suppliers will therefore be expected to guarantee immediate availability of stock on certain line items and be capable of delivering these on the next working day. PROCESS Leidos wishes to stimulate interest, information and views across the market for the supply of this requirement via this Request for Information (RFI) together with other companies whom Leidos believes may be able to provide useful intelligence on our requirement. To aid your consideration a sample list of our current requirement can be provided on request by E-Mail using the point(s) of contact within this bulletin. Leidos is seeking information / views and would be grateful if you could answer the following questions: - Company Capabilities Does your organisation currently manufacture, distribute, any combination of these products Are you currently providing these products elsewhere in the Public Sector? (If so please detail where possible) What innovation can you offer to reduce the cost of these products supply to Leidos What would further incentivise you to bid against the requirement for these products supply to Leidos How do you monitor and manage fluctuations in the market, do you use any forms of indices Current Requirement Please indicate if you would have difficulty supplying any of the requirement and why Are the materials/specification of these products in line with current industry standards Please provide comments and / or suggestions in relation to the lotting of the requirement Please indicate which items you will be able to supply Please provide information regarding guaranteeing availability how this will be achieved and which items you provide which this would be possible on Ordering/Delivery Do you have the ability to delivery to a variety of locations across the United Kingdom? What is your average lead time? Do you impose MOQs? For Short Shelf life items what is the maximum supplied? Additional information: Please see attachment for more information
