Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the development and supply of Knee Mounted Service Boots was initiated by Leidos Supply, Limited, a central government public authority located in Bristol, United Kingdom. The procurement title is "The Development & Supply of Knee Mounted Service Boots," under the industry category of goods, specifically boots. The process is currently at the award stage, with a scheduled contract period from 7th November 2026 to 6th November 2032. The procurement method used was a direct award, following a previous unsuccessful open procedure, as Schneider Boots Limited was the only supplier capable of meeting the technical specifications required.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses in the footwear manufacturing industry, particularly those capable of developing specialised military footwear. Smaller enterprises like Schneider Boots Limited, which successfully secured the contract thanks to their ability to meet the exacting standards required, may find similar opportunities for contracts within the Defence Clothing sector, enhancing their growth potential by catering to niche market demands. The framework agreement, valued between £512,000 and £1,280,000, underscores the potential financial benefits available to businesses meeting governmental supply criteria.

Procurement Information

Following tender evaluation, LSL determined no suitable tenders were received in response to an Open Procedure tender. LSL considers that Schneider Boots Ltd submitted the only response capable of forming the basis for negotiation, as the subsequent contract will not substantially modify the requirements or initial conditions of the Open Procedure tender. LSL considers Schneider Boots Ltd to be the only supplier capable of delivering the specified product(s) in line with all technical requirements. LSL will therefore initiate negotiations with Schneider Boots Ltd with the intention to establish a framework agreement. The proposed framework will be in place for a duration of 6 years, with an estimated total value between PS512,000 - PS1,280,000. It is considered that this contract can be placed using the Direct Award condition under Section 43 of the Procurement Act 2023 due to no suitable tenders being submitted in response to a competitive tendering procedure.
