Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "The Supply of Navy base, Thermal, Outer Layer and Beanie Hat" is being conducted by Leidos Supply Limited on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD). Located in Bristol, UK, the buying organisation has undertaken a transparent and open procedure to award the contract, which involves the procurement of goods related to clothing and accessories. The industry category is classified under special workwear, outerwear, and garments. The process has advanced to the award stage with the successful supplier, Cooneen Defence Ltd, participating. The framework contract is set to commence on 1st July 2026 and will last until 30th June 2030, covering a four-year period. Key dates in this procurement included a planning stage that began with a market engagement notice issued on 20th May 2025, culminating in the award decision announced on 8th June 2026.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in clothing and textiles, especially those with a focus on military or special wear applications. Given the significant contract value of £1.5 million, this framework allows potential suppliers to establish a long-term relationship with the MoD and increase their footprint in the defence sector. It also opens avenues for large manufacturers like Cooneen Defence Ltd, with the capacity to supply bespoke attire on a large scale, to demonstrate their capabilities in providing high-quality, durable goods suitable for military specifications. While this particular procurement is complete, similar tenders are likely to attract interest from SMEs with robust, scalable production capabilities and experience in the delivery of complex procurement contracts. Businesses in these sectors can expect further opportunities to partner with government entities by remaining attentive to Leidos Supply’s announcements for future frameworks.
