This initiative falls under the medical equipment industry category and is currently in the planning stage. The engagement end date for interested suppliers to submit their responses is set for 23rd September 2019. This request aims to gather information regarding the supply of diagnostic ultrasound devices intended for UK Military Medical Facilities, with formal tenders expected to be issued in 2020. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical equipment, particularly those manufacturing or supplying diagnostic ultrasound technology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide innovative solutions and meet the specified technical requirements will find this an advantageous prospect to engage with the MOD through Team Leidos. By contributing relevant product brochures and specifications, businesses can position themselves for future contracts that will enhance their market presence and foster growth within the healthcare sector. ## Notice BACKGROUND In April 15 the MOD signed a contract with Leidos Europe Ltd to provide the procurement and inventory management of commodity items (as well as the storage and distribution services) historically provided in-house by the Logistic Commodities and Services Operating Centre. Leidos, working with the MOD, will transform the way these services are delivered to ensure requirements continue to be met whilst providing best value for money for the department. The organisation delivering these services is known as Team Leidos. FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS Team Leidos would like to make interested suppliers aware that it intends to invite tenders for the Supply and Support of Diagnostic Ultrasound Devices for use in UK Medical Facilities, with a view to awarding Contracts that will commence in 2020. Team Leidos require these devices to be shipped to a central warehouse prior to installation in Military Medical Facilities within the UK.
