## Summary

The public procurement process for the development and supply of Knee Mounted Service Boots was initiated by Leidos Supply, Limited, a central government public authority located in Bristol, United Kingdom. The procurement title is "The Development & Supply of Knee Mounted Service Boots," under the industry category of goods, specifically boots. The process is currently at the award stage, with a scheduled contract period from 7th November 2026 to 6th November 2032. The procurement method used was a direct award, following a previous unsuccessful open procedure, as Schneider Boots Limited was the only supplier capable of meeting the technical specifications required.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses in the footwear manufacturing industry, particularly those capable of developing specialised military footwear. Smaller enterprises like Schneider Boots Limited, which successfully secured the contract thanks to their ability to meet the exacting standards required, may find similar opportunities for contracts within the Defence Clothing sector, enhancing their growth potential by catering to niche market demands. The framework agreement, valued between £512,000 and £1,280,000, underscores the potential financial benefits available to businesses meeting governmental supply criteria.

LSL considers Schneider Boots Ltd to be the only supplier capable of delivering the specified product(s) in line with all technical requirements.
