The procurement pertains to the industry category of clothing, footwear, luggage articles, and accessories, and involves three main lots: on-water clothing, marine safety helmets, and balaclavas. The estimated value of this framework ranges between £51,200,000 and £128,000,000. This project covers various locations including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. As of 16th January 2025, the procurement stage is in the planning phase, with a future notice expected on 27th May 2025. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in occupational clothing and special workwear. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to express their interest. The framework agreement may provide long-term business engagements and growth potential by supplying essential equipment to the UK MOD. Companies capable of delivering high-quality on-water clothing and equipment could benefit from the stability and financial rewards over the contract's duration. The planned procurement process opens up a competitive landscape for businesses experienced in manufacturing and supplying military and civilian safety attire and accessories. ## Notice Team Leidos are proud to be delivering the logistics commodities and services transformation (LCS(T)) Delivery partner contracts (LCS (T)/0001 dated 16.4.2015) on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence (the 'Prime Contract').
