Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply Limited is buying the supply and support of three-section plinths for medical use, including therapy beds, for delivery across the United Kingdom. The requirement sits within Team Leidos’ wider procurement, inventory management, storage and distribution services for the Ministry of Defence. TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited is the procuring entity and conducted various parts of the evaluation. The procurement is for goods and uses an open framework arrangement, including an open framework scheme. The requirement is therefore focused on suppliers able to provide specialist medical beds or plinths together with dependable supply and support services across a national delivery footprint.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Six bids reached the final stage. Medi-Plinth Equipment Limited was awarded the single lot on 8 July 2026 for £3,600,000 excluding VAT and £4,500,000 including VAT. The signed contract is active from 4 August 2026 to 2 August 2030. The tender closed on 10 March 2026, with evaluation due to conclude by 15 July 2026. The lot was suitable for SMEs and was evaluated through qualification, technical and commercial stages, covering quality and price; detailed weighting was set out in the tender documents. The contract requires electronic submission to be allowed and bids in English. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and CPTPP.

This award shows established demand from Leidos Supply Limited for specialist medical plinths and related support at national scale. A credible future competitor would need reliable manufacturing or distribution capacity, experience supplying medical equipment, and the ability to fulfil purchase orders in exact quantities within contractual lead times. The buyer’s performance requirements also favour suppliers able to rectify non-conforming deliveries within 10 working days, provide accurate monthly management information by the fifth working day, and maintain appropriate quality certification throughout the agreement. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, although six final-stage bids were received and none came from SMEs, indicating competition from larger or more established providers. Suppliers with robust quality control, logistics and reporting processes would be well placed.
