UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply Limited, working with the UK Ministry of Defence through Team Leidos, intends to procure menstruation products for delivery across the United Kingdom. This is a goods requirement for personal care products, covering the supply of menstruation products rather than storage, distribution or wider logistics services. The procurement sits within the wider logistics commodities and services transformation programme, through which Team Leidos manages procurement and inventory services for the Ministry of Defence. TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited will support the procuring entity by conducting various parts of the evaluation. The planned requirement is divided into one lot and is intended to support continued provision of these commodity items to the department.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure and has not yet invited tenders. The planned arrangement is expected to run from 10 June 2032 to 10 June 2036. The buyer expects to publish the next notice on 13 January 2028 and says it will issue a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice closer to the tender launch, so suppliers can help develop the requirement and sourcing strategy. The estimated value is £2,000,000 excluding VAT, or £2,400,000 including VAT. The maximum estimated value is £5,000,000 excluding VAT, or £5,400,000 including VAT. The procurement is planned as one lot, with small and medium-sized enterprises identified as suitable.

This requirement is likely to suit manufacturers, wholesalers and specialist distributors of menstruation products and other personal care goods, particularly businesses able to supply public-sector customers at scale. Suppliers should prepare to demonstrate reliable sourcing, product quality, consistent availability and the operational capacity to fulfil an organisation-wide requirement across the United Kingdom. Businesses with established supply-chain management, inventory planning, order fulfilment and distribution arrangements may be well placed to participate when the procurement reaches the market. The buyer has indicated that market engagement will help shape the detailed requirement and sourcing strategy, giving relevant suppliers an opportunity to understand the intended need and inform its development. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly considered suitable for the planned lot.
