## Summary

The procurement process is led by Leidos Supply Limited, a public authority for the central government, and involves the procurement and inventory management of pharmaceutical refrigerators in partnership with the Ministry of Defence. The process is currently at the planning stage with a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice (PMEN) active until 14 May 2026. The engagement seeks market information for the supply and support of pharmaceutical refrigerators suitable for drug storage at temperatures between +2°C to +8°C. These refrigerators are intended for operational environments including Royal Navy platforms. Interested parties are encouraged to register their interest as soon as possible to inform subsequent steps. The procurement falls within the goods category and targets the refrigerating and freezing equipment industry, with the main delivery location being the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for suppliers capable of providing innovative refrigeration solutions compatible with both UK and overseas mains power supplies. Companies involved in manufacturing medical equipment or pharmaceuticals are particularly well-suited for this engagement. The contract holds a substantial value of up to £960,000, thus allowing suppliers to expand their market presence and support government operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, with the contract period projected to commence in March 2027, spanning nearly four years, until January 2031. This opportunity can enable business growth by fostering collaboration with a major central government departmental buyer, Leidos Supply Limited, and contributing to essential pharmaceutical logistics in challenging environments.

## Notice

In April 2015, the MOD signed a thirteen year contract with Leidos Europe Ltd to provide the procurement and inventory management of commodity items (as well as the storage and distribution services), that were historically provided in-house by the Logistic Commodities and Services Operating Centre. Leidos, working with the MOD, will transform the way these services are delivered to ensure requirements continue to be met whilst providing best value for money for the department. 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 requirement for the supply and support of pharmaceutical refrigerators. The requirement is for 3 different sizes of refrigerator: countertop, under-counter and free-standing. Solutions must be suitable for the safe cold-storage of pharmaceutical products at +2degC to +8degC. Solutions will be placed into operational environments, including Royal Navy platforms, and should be compatible with UK and overseas mains power supplies. It is the aim of this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice (PMEN) to encourage companies, suppliers, or manufacturers to make us aware of the market and provide as much information as they are comfortable with, to help decide the future strategy for the range. Team Leidos wishes to generate interest, information and views with other companies to understand the current market innovation and gain useful intelligence that can help our requirement. To register your interest in this requirement, please contact: Olivia.lyle100@teamleidos.mod.uk Please reference LSL/MED/0225 in your email. Responses are required as soon as possible to inform next steps, but the PMEN will remain open until 14/05/2026
