UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contracting process, initiated by LEIDOS SUPPLY, LIMITED in Bristol, focuses on the supply of DEXIS IXS Digital Intraoral Sensors. This project falls under the medical equipment and dental X-ray categories, indicating its alignment with the healthcare industry. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with significant dates including a current PMID document engagement deadline set for 8th May 2025. Although primarily based in the United Kingdom, the procurement aims to engage suppliers more broadly, as Leidos is looking for updates in their existing service capabilities with the Ministry of Defence (MOD). This initiative stems from a requirement to seamlessly integrate the new sensors with the MOD's existing IT infrastructure and imaging software, ensuring compatibility and operational efficiency. The contract is being planned under the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023, thus highlighting the precise legal and operational context of this process.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in medical imaging technologies, dental equipment, and related services, particularly those with experience in large-scale government contracts. The project, valued at approximately £3.85 million net, with provisions for a long-term contract period extending until 2030, provides an extensive horizon for strategic partnerships and sustained revenue streams. This makes it particularly suitable for SMEs and VCSE looking to enhance their portfolio and build relationships within the public sector, especially in contributing to the MOD's objectives. Companies with existing capabilities in handling rigorous technical and operational requirements, while ensuring cost-effectiveness and high-quality standards, will be well-poised to compete in the future procurement phase expected later in 2025.

Notice Information

Notice Title

The Supply of DEXIS IXS Digital Intra Oral Sensors

Notice Description

In April 2015 the MOD signed a thirteen year contract with Leidos Europe Ltd to provide the procurement and inventory management of commodity items (as well as the storage and distribution services) historically provided in-house by the Logistic Commodities and Services Operating Centre. Leidos, working with the MOD, will transform the way these services are delivered to ensure requirements continue to be met whilst providing best value for money for the department. The organisation delivering these services is known as Team Leidos. The intention of this PMED Notice is to make the markets aware of our requirement to procure up to 687 additional 'DEXIS IXS' Inter Oral Digital Sensors as an expansion of the MOD's current 'in service' sensor capability. As an 'in service' device, the DEXIS IXS Sensor has undergone rigorous testing to ensure compatibility and interoperability with MOD's IT infrastructure and existing dental imaging software. For this reason, only the DEXIS IXS is considered an acceptable solution, as procurement of an alternative sensor would lead to 'disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance'. This approach aligns with the guidance provided within the Procurement Act 2023, Condition 41, Schedule 5, Point 7 (additional or repeat goods, services or works). In accordance with the above, Team Leidos wishes to generate interest in this opportunity for suppliers of DEXIS IXS Inter Oral Digital Sensors. For the avoidance of doubt, this is a Pre-Market Engagement Notice and not a call for competition, Leidos intends to compete this requirement later in 2025. To request the PMEN documents please contact: Georgia.Jones366@teamleidos.mod.uk In the email request the documents related the Supply of DEXIS IXS Digital Intra Oral Sensors. The documents will then be sent for completion and should be returned to the same email addresses before the deadline. Responses are required as soon as possible to inform next steps, but the PMEN will remain open until 07/05/2025.
