UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leidos Supply Limited is seeking industrial gases for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is part of the Logistics Commodities and Services Transformation arrangements supporting the Ministry of Defence, where Team Leidos manages procurement, inventory and associated logistics for commodity items. The goods category is gases (CPV 24100000). TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited is conducting parts of the evaluation on behalf of the procuring organisation. The requirement concerns the supply of industrial gases rather than storage, distribution or wider logistics services. The procurement was intended to support the continued provision of commodity supplies within the Ministry of Defence logistics supply chain.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a tender procedure. It has since been withdrawn. The stated reason is that the pipeline notice was published in error and does not relate to a procurement that will proceed; the termination notice was issued to correct an administrative error. The requirement was described as a single lot, with an estimated value of £2,000,000 excluding VAT and £2,400,000 including VAT. The intended contract period was 30 June 2031 to 2 July 2035. The procurement was expected to cover the United Kingdom. The published information also indicated an intention to issue a preliminary market engagement notice closer to the intended tender launch.

This requirement suits suppliers of industrial gases with the capability to supply goods across the United Kingdom and support a defence-related commodity supply chain. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist gas suppliers may be well placed to compete. Relevant businesses would need practical experience in supplying industrial gases at the required scale, together with dependable fulfilment, product availability and delivery arrangements. Suppliers should also be able to work within a procurement and inventory-management environment serving Ministry of Defence requirements. The procurement has been withdrawn because the associated pipeline notice was published in error, so businesses should not treat it as an opportunity currently proceeding.
