## Summary

Leidos Supply Limited, in collaboration with the UK Ministry of Defence, is planning a procurement for "The Supply of On Water Clothing & Equipment". Located in Bristol, this initiative falls under the goods category, specifically targeting the waterproof clothing and accessories market. Although currently in the planning stage, the procurement process anticipates future activities and communications, marked by a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice to be issued by July 25, 2025. The contract is expected to commence on February 8, 2027, and conclude on February 10, 2031, with an estimated value of £33,767,517.31 to £84,418,793.28 including VAT. The engagement will adhere to public procurement regulations and involve a strategic sourcing approach to optimize value delivery.

This tender represents considerable opportunities for businesses operating in the textile industry, especially those specialising in waterproof garments and safety headgear. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, with the procurement allowing room for such groups, thus promoting industry competition and growth. Companies engaged in production or supply of on-water equipment or clothing, especially those adept in innovating or customizing specialised gear, will find this tender advantageous, potentially securing a long-term involvement with a significant public sector client. Businesses committed to enhancing their offerings to meet the UK Ministry of Defence’s quality and performance standards will be well-positioned to compete.
