UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply Limited intends to procure the supply of fasteners for the logistics commodities and services transformation delivered on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence. The requirement covers fasteners as goods, including bolts, screws, threaded fasteners and related construction materials and products. The work forms part of the wider procurement and inventory management of commodity items supporting the Ministry of Defence, alongside associated storage and distribution services delivered through Team Leidos. Delivery is required across the United Kingdom. TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited will conduct various parts of the evaluation as the procuring entity. This procurement is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of industrial, engineering and construction fasteners able to supply UK-wide requirements.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Leidos Supply Limited has announced an intention to procure, but it is not yet an invitation to tender. A single planned lot is envisaged, with the buyer marking it as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The expected procurement route and procedure have not yet been settled in the published information. The estimated agreement value is £2,000,000 to £5,000,000 excluding VAT, or £2,400,000 to £6,000,000 including VAT; a central estimate of £2,500,000 excluding VAT and £3,000,000 including VAT is also stated. The planned contract period is 30 May 2032 to 30 May 2036. A future notice is expected on 26 October 2027. A Preliminary Market Engagement Notice is planned closer to tender launch.

The procurement is intended to suit small and medium-sized enterprises as well as larger suppliers, provided they can meet the eventual requirements for supplying fasteners across the United Kingdom. Businesses should prepare evidence of their capability to source, manufacture, distribute or otherwise supply bolts, screws, threaded fasteners and related construction-material products at the required scale. Relevant experience in industrial, engineering, construction or defence supply chains is likely to be useful, particularly where it demonstrates reliable product availability, inventory management and UK-wide fulfilment. The requirement sits within a broader logistics and commodity supply service, so suppliers with established distribution and stock-control arrangements may be well placed. The planned market engagement will give suppliers an opportunity to support development of the sourcing strategy when it is announced.
