Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply Limited, acting for the UK Ministry of Defence through its defence logistics arrangements, procured safety footwear for delivery across the United Kingdom. The requirement covered military and civilian safety footwear, including footwear with protective metal toecaps and anti-static safety footwear. It was a goods procurement within the clothing and footwear category (CPV 18000000), with footwear and protective-toecap footwear also classified separately. The procurement was structured around military, civilian and anti-static requirements. The framework supports the Ministry of Defence’s Defence Clothing function and is intended to supply footwear for defence personnel and civilian users. Leidos Supply Limited is based in Bristol and managed the procurement on behalf of the defence logistics delivery arrangements.

This procurement has been awarded following an open procedure for a framework agreement. The tender closed on 21 November 2024 at 12:00 UTC, and the award process began on 26 August 2025. It was evaluated on price. It allowed up to three lots to be awarded to one supplier, with electronic and written submissions accepted. Two active awards were made to Iturri: the anti-static safety footwear award was signed on 30 June 2026 for £2,100,000, and the military and civilian safety footwear award was signed on 7 January 2026 for £2,900,000. Both contracts are active. Each framework lot has a 1,440-day contract period, with no renewal or additional-purchase options recorded. Five bids were received for the anti-static requirement and three for the military and civilian requirement.

This award demonstrates established demand from Leidos Supply Limited for safety footwear serving UK defence logistics, across both specialist anti-static products and broader military and civilian ranges. A credible future competitor would need to manufacture or supply protective footwear, including products with metal toecaps and anti-static performance, and demonstrate dependable capacity across distinct user groups. The buyer’s price-led evaluation indicates that competitive product pricing will be important, alongside the ability to meet the technical and economic selection requirements. Suppliers should also be prepared to support a framework model, manage recurring orders and use electronic ordering and payment processes. The three-bid military and civilian competition and five-bid anti-static competition show that the requirement attracts established suppliers, including large businesses such as Iturri.
