UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "The Supply of Industrial Gases" was initially planned under the authority of LEIDOS SUPPLY, LIMITED, a public authority central government entity based in Bristol, UK. The associated procurement was identified in the goods industry category, specifically focusing on industrial gases. The procuring entity was TVS SUPPLY CHAIN SOLUTIONS LIMITED located in Chorley. The status of the procurement process was recently updated to withdrawn as of 4th August 2026, following a tender cancellation notice issued due to an administrative error in the procurement announcement. Despite being a planned tender, the current status remains as withdrawn, which indicates that the procurement activities will not proceed as initially planned.

This procurement process initially provided an opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of industrial gases to engage with substantial contracts, aligning with government projects that aimed to transform logistics commodities and service deliveries. The contract value was estimated between £2,000,000 and £5,000,000, providing a significant growth opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to supply and distribute gases across the UK. While this specific tender has been withdrawn, businesses in the sector should stay attentive to possible future tenders or preliminary market engagement notices from Team Leidos, as there might be renewed calls for procurement that would suit distributors, manufacturers, and suppliers within the industrial gas sphere with the logistical capacity and competitive pricing to meet public sector demands.
