Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply and support of scoop stretchers and C-Spine immobilisation to the UK Armed Forces has been completed. The buying organisation, Leidos Supply Limited, based in Bristol, has been overseeing the process. The contract has been awarded to Ferno UK Ltd, a large supplier based in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire. This contract, identified by the tender ID LSL/MED/0216, was concluded as a direct award, acknowledging Ferno UK Ltd as the sole provider qualified for this requirement under the specified UK legal framework. The procurement process is currently in the contract stage, with the contract period running from 8th July 2026 to 7th July 2029, ensuring timely delivery to designated UK locations.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture and provision of medical equipment, particularly those capable of supplying niche products like scoop stretchers that meet military standards. It presents both a steady revenue stream over three years and the chance to foster a relationship with the central government's buying authorities. While this award was directly given to Ferno UK Ltd due to their exclusive rights and capabilities, other businesses specialising in highly technical or unique products for government sectors could find similar prospects by positioning themselves as key suppliers in their niche markets.
