This initiative, classified under military vehicles and associated parts, is set to transform support arrangements for MOD's equipment. The programme aims to enhance equipment availability and technical performance through continual updates and capability upgrades. Essential dates include the end of the current market engagement phase on 4th October 2024, with new engagements anticipated to start in October 2024. The primary location for this procurement is the South West region of the United Kingdom, based out of the Ministry of Defence facilities in Bristol. This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialised in military vehicle maintenance, repair, and engineering services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the programme’s focus on better equipment readiness and integrated support systems. Companies with expertise in military vehicle upkeep, regular technical upgrades, and the capability to provide routine capability enhancements will find this tender well-suited to their strengths. With the LIOS aiming for agile and modernised support aligned with national defence strategies, this tender offers a strategic avenue for business expansion in the defence sector. ``` ## Notice The LIOS programme delivers the most radical transformation in two decades by introducing the opportunity for a different model for through-life support arrangements. It will support the acceleration and modernisation of the Army to become more agile, more integrated, and more expeditionary in line with Defence and Security Industrial Strategy and Land Industrial Strategy. Specifically targeting the MoD's support contracts, it broadly seeks better equipment availability and readiness (upkeep), maintained, or improved technical performance through life (regular updates), and a more routine and deliverable programme of capability upgrades. Following the LIOS market engagement conducted under the PINs published in December 2021 and May 2023, LIOS is now commencing a third round of market engagement which shall focus on discussing and testing the 'LIOS Concept'. It is envisaged that this engagement will begin in October 2024.
