UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply Limited is seeking suppliers for the supply and support of pharmaceutical refrigerators on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence. The requirement covers three refrigerator formats and sizes: countertop, under-counter and freestanding equipment. The work is classified as the supply of medical and refrigerating equipment, including CPV 42513000, and delivery is required across the United Kingdom. Leidos Supply Limited is the buyer, with TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited conducting various parts of the evaluation. The requirement sits within the wider logistics commodities and services transformation delivered by Team Leidos. It is a framework agreement for equipment supply and support, intended to provide coverage of the Ministry of Defence’s pharmaceutical refrigeration requirements. Suppliers may consider one or more of the three lots, subject to the procurement requirements.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 18 September 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 28 September 2026 at 12:00. The planned evaluation decision date was 9 February 2027. The framework contract is scheduled to run from 8 March 2027 to 28 March 2031. Its estimated value is £2,325,000 excluding VAT and £2,790,000 including VAT; lot values excluding VAT are £1,275,000 for countertop, £300,000 for under-counter and £750,000 for freestanding refrigerators. Bidders must pass all pass/fail qualification questions, then achieve at least 60% in the weighted technical questions. Prices are assessed only after those stages. At least one contract is intended, with up to three possible to ensure coverage and value for money. There is no guaranteed volume under the framework.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors and specialist support providers able to supply pharmaceutical refrigerators in countertop, under-counter and freestanding formats and support them across the UK. The three lots allow suppliers to target the equipment type that matches their product range and operational capability. The procurement is expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and each lot requires suppliers to demonstrate compliance through pass/fail qualification questions before technical evaluation. Strong technical evidence is therefore important: bids must achieve a minimum 60% benchmark on weighted technical questions to proceed to commercial assessment. Suppliers should be able to cover the relevant Schedule of Requirements and provide the required supply and support capability. The buyer may appoint multiple contractors where needed for full coverage, although framework business is not guaranteed.
