Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply, Limited is overseeing a procurement process titled "The Supply of Military Dog Food" on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD). This procurement falls under the goods category within the pet food industry, specifically military dog food. Located in the United Kingdom, the tender is currently in the "Tender" stage with an end date for submissions set at the 6th of May, 2026. The invitation follows an open procurement method known as the Competitive Flexible Procedure, aiming to establish a framework agreement valued between £1,000,000 and £2,000,000 over a four-year period. The framework does not guarantee any business but allows suppliers to register and express their interest through the Jaggaer eProcurement system. Key dates include an enquiry period ending on the 24th of April, 2026, and the expected awarding phase concluding by the 30th of November, 2026.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in pet food, particularly those capable of meeting military specifications and quality standards for dog food products. The framework is well-suited for companies with a strategic interest in expanding their clientele to include government entities like the MoD. While there is no business guarantee under the framework, the substantial contract value and long-term potential make it attractive for companies seeking to grow within the public sector. SME suitability enhances this opportunity, encouraging smaller businesses to partake in the evaluation process. Successful engagement could result in establishing a noteworthy client, offering both a revenue increase and a reputable client portfolio addition. Participation in the tender calls for detailed bid submissions and potential product samples should a company rank among the four lowest-priced bidders in Stage 3 of the evaluation.
