## Summary

Leidos Supply Ltd is inviting tenders for the supply and delivery of Overseas Deployable Food (ODF) on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD). The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, and the estimated value for the framework agreement ranges between £100,000,000 and £250,000,000. The initial term for the agreement is 60 months, with an option to extend by up to 24 months, totaling a maximum of 84 months. This initiative aims to ensure a cost-effective, secure food supply to British Armed Forces personnel deployed in permanent or non-permanent overseas locations, including but not limited to British Forces South Atlantic Islands, Kenya, Nepal, Germany, Norway, USA, Belize, Jordan, and Oman. The deadline for the tender submission is set for 18th March 2025, and the second stage of the process is anticipated to commence on 23rd April 2025.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses capable of managing global supply chains and executing logistics operations in challenging environments. Companies experienced in sourcing and distributing a diverse range of food products—such as fresh, ambient, chilled, and frozen goods—as well as catering non-food items, are well-suited for this contract. The range of products includes dairy, fresh produce, bakery items, beverages, canned foods, meat, seafood, and non-food products like aluminium foil and biodegradable cutlery. The necessity to deliver to potentially hostile and remote locations necessitates providers with strong logistical capabilities and the flexibility to meet the surge requirements of the military. This procurement method is a Restricted Procedure, allowing suppliers to express their interest and submit their pre-qualification questionnaires through the Jaggaer eSourcing Platform.
