UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply Limited, working with the UK Ministry of Defence through Team Leidos, intends to procure plastic, rubber and cork sheeting. The requirement forms part of the logistics commodities and services transformation programme, which covers procurement and inventory management of commodity items, alongside storage and distribution services. The procurement is for goods rather than services or construction work, with delivery across the United Kingdom. TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited will conduct various parts of the evaluation. The stated classification is primary-form acrylic polymers, indicating a focus on polymer sheet materials within the wider plastic, rubber and cork sheeting requirement. The arrangement is expected to support the Ministry of Defence’s ongoing logistics supply needs and its aim of maintaining requirements while achieving value for money.

This is a planned procurement: the buyer has declared an intention to run a future competition, but it is not yet an invitation to tender. Team Leidos expects to issue a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice closer to tender launch, so suppliers can help develop the requirement and sourcing strategy. The next notice is currently expected on 4 December 2028. The planned contract period is 26 May 2033 to 26 May 2037. The estimated value is £2,000,000 to £5,000,000 excluding VAT, or £2,400,000 to £5,400,000 including VAT. The procurement is planned as a single lot. The buyer has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises are suitable to participate when the procurement reaches the market.

This procurement is likely to suit manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers able to provide plastic, rubber and cork sheeting for a defence logistics supply chain. Relevant businesses should be able to demonstrate dependable supply of sheet materials, including polymer-based products, and the operational capacity to support a long-term requirement. Experience supplying commodity items into structured inventory, procurement, storage or distribution arrangements would be useful, particularly where continuity of supply and consistent product standards are important. The buyer has expressly identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist manufacturers and established distributors should monitor the planned market engagement and prepare evidence of their product range, supply resilience and ability to support UK-wide delivery. There are no current bids to prepare.
