## Summary

The procurement process, led by LEIDOS SUPPLY, LIMITED, is currently in the planning stage for the contract titled "The Supply of UK Deployable Food". This initiative falls under the goods category within the food, beverages, and related products industry. It is aimed at supplying fresh, ambient, and frozen food for Ministry of Defence (MOD) exercises across the UK and Northern Ireland. Initially publicised on 27th July 2026, the procurement's significant milestones include a preliminary market engagement notice scheduled for 7th May 2027, with the contract period expected to commence on 27th October 2028 and conclude by 1st October 2035. The open procedure method will be employed for this tender, and the estimated contract value ranges between £168 million and £420 million including VAT.

This tender offers a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in the food supply industry, particularly those experienced in handling large-scale logistics and contract fulfilments for governmental organisations such as the MOD. Businesses that specialise in fresh, ambient, and frozen food supply chains, with a robust capacity for inventory and distribution management, are particularly well-suited to compete. The potential for securing a contract of this magnitude presents significant growth prospects for suppliers aiming to expand their presence within the public procurement space, especially in collaboration with a key central government authority like Team Leidos.
