This tender is currently in the planning stage, with a projected framework length of up to four years anticipated to commence in early 2022. The estimated value of this requirement ranges between £2,480,000 and £6,000,000. Interested suppliers should note a future notice date set for 16 August 2021, regarding further developments on this procurement. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, particularly those providing steel and alloy steels. Companies engaged in mining, basic metals production, or the manufacture of metal commodities would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. As this framework agreement does not guarantee business, it nonetheless offers a chance for suppliers to establish long-term supplier relationships with a key defence authority, which could lead to further contracts within the MOD's wider logistics transformation programme. ## 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').
