Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply Limited has been awarded a contract for the supply of timber, a key commodity in the logistics and services transformation for the UK Ministry of Defence. The procurement process, initiated under the open method, concluded with an award notice on 21 August 2025. The contract, valued at £6 million, was granted to MH Southern and Co Ltd., covering a four-year term starting 18 August 2025. The procurement relates to the supply and delivery of various timber products across the UK, under the CPV classification 03419000, associated with the main category of goods. The buying organisation, Leidos Supply Limited, operates as part of Team Leidos, which is tasked with delivering strategic logistics services as per the MOD contract signed in 2015.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in timber supply to engage with a major defence procurement entity, thereby opening pathways for substantial business growth. The contractual arrangement contributes to a robust supply chain supporting the MOD's logistics requirements, offering potential subcontracting or supply opportunities to firms specialised in coniferous wood, tropical wood, rough wood, softwood, hardwood, plywood, laminated wood, and other construction materials in wood. Companies within the timber production and supply sector stand to benefit greatly from aligning with established networks like Team Leidos and participating in future tenders and frameworks that offer security and strategic market positioning over the contract's duration.
