Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by LEIDOS SUPPLY, LIMITED, involves the supply of thermal jackets and trousers in a multi-terrain pattern for the Ministry of Defence (MOD) under the Logistics Commodities and Services Transformation (LCST) programme. The buyer is LEIDOS SUPPLY, LIMITED, based in Bristol, and the engagement is overseen by TVS SUPPLY CHAIN SOLUTIONS LIMITED in Chorley. This procurement is currently in the planning stage with a pilot project to establish procurement feasibility. Industry categories relevant to this tender include combat uniforms, jackets, blazers, and trousers. The location for the delivery is within the United Kingdom, and businesses interested in participating must request Preliminary Market Engagement Notice (PMEN) documents by 12 January 2026, with the planned contract period starting from 17 March 2027 to 16 March 2031.
