UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Team Leidos, led by Leidos Supply, Limited for the Ministry of Defence supply chain, is investigating the supply and support of operating tables for maritime vessels. The equipment will support damage control surgery in a maritime environment, achieve standard operating positions and be suitable for use with imaging equipment. Both manual and electrically operated tables are being considered. This is a goods requirement for medical equipment, specifically operating tables (CPV 33192230), with delivery in the United Kingdom. TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited is supporting the procurement and will conduct various parts of the evaluation. The requirement follows an existing arrangement for procurement, inventory management, storage and distribution of commodity items, and the buyer is seeking market intelligence on innovative solutions before deciding its future strategy.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is a preliminary market engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use a framework agreement for one lot, currently planned to run from 31 July 2027 to 30 July 2031. The estimated framework value is £1,500,000 excluding VAT and £1,800,000 including VAT. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 3 December 2026. Market engagement is scheduled, with expressions of interest requested by 27 August 2026 to inform the next steps. The buyer has identified a minor change to the requirement following earlier market engagement and is seeking information and views from companies, suppliers and manufacturers to help determine the future procurement strategy.

This will suit manufacturers, specialist medical-equipment suppliers and support providers with experience designing, supplying or maintaining operating tables for demanding clinical environments. Strong candidates are likely to demonstrate equipment that can withstand maritime use, support damage control surgery, provide standard operating positions and integrate safely with imaging equipment. Suppliers offering either manual or electric solutions may be relevant, while businesses with both options could contribute useful comparative information. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist firms may be well placed to engage. Businesses with innovative products, technical evidence, lifecycle support capability and experience supplying public-sector or defence-related customers should prepare relevant information for the planned market consultation.

Notice Title

LSL/MED/0219 - The Supply and Support of Operating Tables for Maritime Vessels

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. Team Leidos would like to make markets aware that we are continuing to investigate innovative approaches to fill our requirement for the supply of operating tables for use in the maritime environment. This additional PMEN is to inform the market of a minor change in requirement following the initial PMEN and market engagement activity. Solutions must be suitable for conducting damage control surgery within a maritime environment, capable of achieving standard operating positions and suitable for use with imaging equipment. Both manual and electric solutions will be considered. The aim of this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice (PMEN) is 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. 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.
