## Summary

This planned procurement process, initiated by LEIDOS SUPPLY, LIMITED, involves a re-let for the supply of locks, keys, and hinges, under the oversight of TVS SUPPLY CHAIN SOLUTIONS LIMITED as the procuring entity. The process is in the planning stage and aligns with the UK Public Procurement Regulations 2023/54. The notice, published on 29th July 2026, prepares for a future procurement opportunity, with a preliminary market engagement notice expected to be issued prior to the tender's launch anticipated for 2028. The procurement category is goods, and the delivery regions cover the entire United Kingdom.

This tender opens up significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in security hardware or related commodities. With an estimated contract value ranging between £4,800,000 and £14,400,000, the procurement presents a substantial potential for growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have the capacity to supply high-quality locks and keys. Companies involved in manufacturing or distributing locks, keys, and associated hardware are ideally positioned to benefit from engaging in this procurement process. The competitive edge can be gained by participating in preliminary market engagements to influence the sourcing strategy, preparing a strategic approach to meet the key requirements of Team Leidos and the wider UK Ministry of Defence logistics framework.
