UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply Limited, working on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence through Team Leidos, intends to procure the supply of flags, ensigns and pennants. The requirement sits within the wider logistics commodities and services transformation programme, which covers procurement and inventory management of commodity items, alongside storage and distribution services. This procurement is for goods rather than works or services, with flags identified under CPV 35821000. Delivery is expected across the United Kingdom. TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited will conduct various parts of the evaluation for the procuring entity. The arrangement is intended to support the Ministry of Defence’s ongoing logistics requirements and the continued provision of these commodity items through the Team Leidos supply model.

This process is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The planned procurement is for one lot and is expected to use a procedure governed by the Public Procurement Regulations. The estimated value is £2,000,000 excluding VAT and £2,400,000 including VAT. The buyer expects the future contract to run from 28 December 2032 to 29 December 2036. A Preliminary Market Engagement Notice is expected closer to the tender launch, to help suppliers support development of the requirement and sourcing strategy. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 15 June 2028. The lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement will suit businesses that manufacture, supply or distribute flags, ensigns and pennants for a national public-sector logistics requirement. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly identified as suitable for the single lot. Suppliers should prepare evidence of their ability to provide the required flag products reliably across the United Kingdom and to work within a structured procurement and inventory-management environment. Experience supporting storage, distribution or wider commodity supply chains may be relevant to the delivery model described by Team Leidos, although the detailed technical and commercial requirements are expected to be developed through market engagement. Businesses interested in shaping the requirement should monitor for the planned Preliminary Market Engagement Notice and be ready to contribute to the sourcing strategy before the tender is launched.
