## Summary

The proposed procurement process involves LEIDOS SUPPLY, LIMITED as the buying organisation, focusing on the supply and fitting of sports bras tailored to the needs of UK Armed Forces recruits during high-impact activities. This tender, currently in the planning stage, covers special clothing categories such as sportswear and tailoring services. Interested parties can obtain relevant documents from Team Leidos, aiming for responses by 13 April 2026. The initiative, valued at approximately £2 million, highlights a strategic collaboration between Leidos and the Ministry of Defence to enhance delivery and ensure value for money. With its activities based predominantly in the United Kingdom, this project offers a significant opportunity for firms specialising in garment manufacturing and innovative sportswear solutions.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for companies in the sports clothing and accessories sector, particularly those capable of delivering high-performance bras within the specified sizing range. Suitable businesses include manufacturers, suppliers, and tailors experienced in producing bespoke sportswear that meets rigorous specifications. The procurement is particularly open to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), allowing them to showcase market innovations and gain prominent roles in fulfilling military requirements. Such an engagement can broaden their exposure and establish robust relationships with central government entities like the MOD, providing a path for significant business growth. Additionally, participation can provide valuable insights into market dynamics, fostering further development and adaptation in apparel design to meet specialised demands.
