UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply Limited, working with the UK Ministry of Defence through Team Leidos, intends to procure the supply of chemicals for its logistics commodities and services transformation programme. The requirement covers chemical elements, inorganic acids and compounds, including water-treatment chemicals. It is a goods procurement supporting the procurement and inventory management of commodity items and the associated storage and distribution service. Delivery is intended across the United Kingdom. TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited is the procuring entity and will conduct various parts of the evaluation. The planned requirement is organised as a single lot and is intended to support continued delivery of logistics commodities and services for the department.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The planned agreement is expected to have a value of £2,000,000 excluding VAT and £2,400,000 including VAT. The stated contract period is 30 June 2032 to 30 June 2032. A further notice is expected on 27 January 2028, when the buyer intends to provide more information. Team Leidos plans to issue a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice closer to the tender launch, to help develop the requirement and sourcing strategy. The procurement is planned as one lot, with the lot marked as suitable for SMEs.

The requirement is likely to suit chemical suppliers, distributors and logistics businesses able to provide chemical elements, inorganic acids, compounds and water-treatment chemicals for use within a UK-wide supply arrangement. Businesses with experience supplying commodity products to public-sector, defence or other controlled operational environments may be well placed to prepare, particularly where they can support dependable inventory management, storage and distribution alongside product supply. The buyer has said that market engagement will help shape the detailed requirement and sourcing strategy, so suppliers should prepare evidence of relevant product ranges, supply-chain resilience, fulfilment capability and experience delivering comparable chemical commodities. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly identified as suitable for the planned lot. This is preparation for a future procurement, not a bid opportunity at present.
