The process falls under the industry category of goods, with a distinct focus on packaging and related services. Located in the UK, this contract, whose tender stage was active as of 2025, is now complete and awaiting award. The procurement, which follows an open procedure, was structured under the procurement regulation guidelines set forth by the UK Ministry of Defence. Major key dates include the award notice dated 30th March 2026 and the contract start date set for 13th April 2026, with the attachment of several CPV classifications such as corrugated paper, plastic products, and rubber materials.

As a framework agreement, the estimated value spanning from £29,000,000 to £73,000,000, encourages innovative approaches while supporting Leidos's logistical transformation efforts. Among the successful suppliers poised to leverage this opportunity are MaxPack Group LTD, Joseph Gleave & Son Limited, and DS Smith Packaging Limited, each awarded a share of the contract, thus ensuring comprehensive coverage and value for money.
