Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply Limited bought scoop stretchers and support for C-spine immobilisation for the UK Armed Forces. The requirement covers supplying the equipment in the quantities and quality specified on purchase orders, and ensuring it is fit for purpose and delivered to designated locations. The procurement is for goods, specifically stretchers (CPV 33192160), with delivery in the United Kingdom. TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited conducted parts of the evaluation on Leidos’s behalf.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Ferno UK Ltd, which also signed the contract. Leidos used a direct award, citing technical reasons: market research identified Ferno as the only supplier able to meet the requirement, including providing support for the existing equipment, with no reasonable alternatives. The award was made on 18 June 2026 and the contract was signed on 25 June 2026. The award value was £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT); the signed contract value is £400,000 excluding VAT (£500,000 including VAT). The award period runs from 8 July 2026 to 7 July 2029; the contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 5 August 2029. There was one lot, marked suitable for SMEs.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Leidos, this award shows demand for scoop stretchers and C-spine immobilisation equipment, together with ongoing equipment support for the UK Armed Forces. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its products meet the operational requirement and are compatible with equipment already in service; the buyer’s stated rationale identifies compatibility and avoiding disproportionate operating or maintenance difficulties as central concerns. Delivery performance is also important: the contract sets expectations for delivery within lead times and in exact purchase-order quantities, correction of non-conforming deliveries within 10 working days, and monthly performance reporting by the fifth working day. The award went to an SME, and the lot was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a supplier of SME scale was able to satisfy the requirement.」}]} тәү կանգ?
