UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply Limited, working with the Ministry of Defence logistics operation, procured the supply and delivery of bedding, mattresses, textiles and cloths for use across the United Kingdom. This is a goods requirement covering two distinct areas: bedding, textiles and cloths, including bed linen, cleaning cloths and specialist soft furnishings; and mattresses, beds and related bedroom furniture. The buying organisation is Leidos Supply Limited, with TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited conducting parts of the evaluation. The requirement supports the wider procurement, inventory management, storage and distribution of commodity items delivered through Team Leidos. Both lots were identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and delivery is required nationally across the UK.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Vision Linens Limited was awarded Lot 1 for bedding, textiles and cloths on 10 September 2026, at an estimated £5,500,000 excluding VAT, for a contract period from 10 December 2026 to 9 December 2030. Bishops Beds was awarded Lot 2 for mattresses on the same date, at an estimated £10,000,000 excluding VAT, for the same contract period. A planned signature date for both awards was 23 September 2026. The tender closed on 21 May 2026, with enquiries closing on 14 May 2026. Evaluation required pass/fail qualification, at least 60% in the technical stage, then assessment of the prices of compliant bids. There was one valid bid for Lot 1 and nine for Lot 2.

This award demonstrates sustained UK public-sector demand for nationally delivered bedding, textiles, cloths and mattresses within a defence logistics supply chain. A credible future competitor would need dependable manufacturing or sourcing, quality-controlled goods, stock availability and the logistics capability to supply customers across the UK. Relevant experience should include contract-scale fulfilment, inventory management, reliable delivery and the ability to cover a defined schedule of requirements rather than isolated product lines. Suppliers should also be prepared for a structured qualification and technical assessment, with clear evidence supporting pass/fail compliance and strong technical responses before price is considered. The successful bidders were SMEs, so smaller specialist manufacturers, distributors and furnishing suppliers with sufficient capacity and robust operational controls may be well placed for comparable requirements.
