UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by LEIDOS SUPPLY, LIMITED on behalf of the Ministry of Defence (MOD), involves a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice (PMEN) for the supply of oils, lubricants, and associated products. Located in Bristol, this process is currently at the planning stage, seeking input from potential suppliers to form a framework agreement anticipated to commence in 2027. The framework will potentially last up to four years, with an estimated value between £27,100,000 and £67,700,000. Businesses interested in participating are required to request and return the PMEN documents by the deadline, with the documents remaining open until the week commencing 27th October 2025. The products will be utilised on land, sea, and air platforms across the United Kingdom, ensuring wide applicability and compliance with specified standards.

This tender process presents significant opportunities for businesses in the supply chain, particularly those specialising in the production and distribution of lubricating oils and related agents. The framework's substantial financial scope and its target to enhance the delivery of essential services to the MOD make it particularly appealing for well-established suppliers familiar with governmental and multi-terrain requirements. Companies with innovative offerings or those capable of providing comprehensive solutions that align with the MOD's standards are well-positioned to benefit from this engagement. The opportunity is especially suited for SMEs looking to expand their market reach and collaborate with a reputable organisation like LEIDOS SUPPLY, LIMITED and the MOD.

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), that were 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.

It is the aim of this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice (PMEN) to encourage companies, suppliers, or manufacturers to make us aware and provide as much information as they are comfortable with, to help decide the future strategy for the range. Please note that as a framework agreement there is no guarantee of business. Team Leidos wishes to generate interest, information and views with other companies to understand the current market innovation and gain useful intelligence that can help our requirement.
