## Summary

Leidos Supply, Limited, in collaboration with TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited and the Ministry of Defence (MOD), is seeking interest for a procurement process concerning the Supply of Adhesives, Tapes, and Sealants. This initiative, led by Team Leidos, aims to revamp the delivery of these commodity items through procurement and inventory management by providing storage and distribution services. The contract planning stage is currently in progress, with a deadline for response set on 31st July 2026, and the subsequent communication notice on 6th October 2026. The procurement category focuses on goods, with the delivery of services expected across the United Kingdom and a gross amount anticipated at £40,800,000.

This tender provides multiple business opportunities, particularly for SMEs interested in contributing to material supplies for the defence sector. Companies specialising in adhesives, tapes, sealants, glues, and resins are encouraged to engage with Team Leidos to present their innovative solutions. As there is potential for a framework agreement, competitive suppliers can leverage their expertise to influence long-term partnerships within central government supply chains. Engaging with this preliminary market engagement notice could open pathways to significant growth by fostering collaboration with one of the UK's central government entities.

## Notice

The organisation delivering these services is known as Team Leidos. Team Leidos would like to make markets aware that we are intending to consider approaches that could fulfill our Supply of Adhesives, Tapes and Sealants requirements. It is the aim of this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice (PMEN) to encourage companies, suppliers, or manufacturers to make us aware and provide as much information as they are comfortable with, to help decide the future strategy for the range.
