The tender, titled "The Supply of Combat Footwear," aims to provide combat footwear for the Ministry of Defence. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with an estimated length of approximately two and a half years from tender publication to contract award. Interested suppliers need to be prepared for substantial upfront manufacturing costs for product samples required during the trial phases. This tender opportunity presents a chance for suppliers in the footwear industry to engage with Team Leidos for the supply and delivery of combat footwear. The significant value of the framework agreement, ranging from £70,000,000 to £120,000,000, offers potential for long-term business growth. Businesses capable of meeting the complex procurement requirements and committing to the extended contract term could benefit from participating in this opportunity, providing combat boots for Tri-Service personnel within defined specifications. ## 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'). Delivery of other parts of the LCS(T) contract are delivered by Leidos Europe Ltd (LEL) and other partners (together 'Team Leidos'). This requirement is subject to the Public Procurement Regulations and respective advertising action. The requirement is a complex one and the need to conduct a series of lengthy product testing phases during the tender process means that the overall length of the procurement is estimated to be approximately two and half years, from tender publication to contract award. This includes a full user trial which has been allocated a time period of one year. This in turn means that prospective bidders will need to make a substantial up-front commitment into the manufacturing of samples required for the trial periods. It has been estimated that this could be within the region of PS100,000.00 with, for example, the Full User Trial phase alone likely to require the following samples: 1. Boots Combat, High Liability - 100 pairs of each solution 2. Boots Combat, Patrol - 100 pairs of each solution 3. Boots Desert Combat High Liability - 50 pairs of each solution 4. Boots Combat Cold Wet Weather - 50 pairs of each solution 5. Boots Combat Jungle - 50 pairs of each solution In order not to deter new entrants to the market and in order to allow the prospect of those up-front costs to be recouped during the lifetime of the contract, it is felt, following extensive market engagement, that a longer contract term is needed. A seven year framework would allow a five year period between contract award and beginning market engagement for the future contract; assuming that all proposed option periods are taken up. ### Lot Information Jungle Boots The Defence Clothing team, which forms part of Leidos Supply Ltd. is considering the potential requirement for the supply of Combat Boots on behalf of the UK MOD, consisting of multiple lots Jungle Combat Boots: Primarily used for patrolling and combat use, although the boots may also be used for more general duties within camp and the office space.
