The requirement covers four lots: on-water clothing suits, heated jackets, marine safety helmets and balaclavas. The goods include specialist occupational clothing, outerwear, protective gear and individual equipment, with delivery across the United Kingdom. Leidos Supply Limited is the buyer, while TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited is conducting parts of the evaluation. This is a framework agreement for military clothing and personal equipment, intended to support the Defence Clothing Team’s logistics requirements. The opportunity is suitable for suppliers manufacturing or distributing specialist workwear, protective equipment, marine safety products or related textile and equipment ranges. The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English. It is a relaunch of a previously suspended procurement. Enquiries close at 12:00 on 19 January 2027 and tenders are due by 12:00 on 2 February 2027. The planned award period ends on 11 May 2028, and each lot has a contract period from 11 September 2028 to 9 September 2033. The total tender value is £77.5 million excluding VAT, or £93 million including VAT. Lot values excluding VAT are £73.5 million for suits, £1.4 million for heated jackets, and £1.3 million each for marine safety helmets and balaclavas. The framework description gives an estimated value of £30 million to £74 million over five years, with no guaranteed business. Evaluation starts with pass/fail qualification, followed by technical scoring, mandatory sample assessment, user panel and full user trial; prices are assessed only after these stages. Technical, user-panel and trial stages require scores of at least 70%, mandatory samples require 100%, and user-panel candidates must rank among the top four for their lot. This opportunity suits suppliers with established capability in specialist military, marine or protective clothing and equipment, including manufacturers, technical product developers and distributors able to supply one or more lots. Bidders need to demonstrate compliance with pass/fail qualification requirements, respond to detailed technical questions and provide technical samples for assessment. Products must be capable of passing mandatory sample checks, user assessment and full user trials, so suppliers should have robust product testing, quality control and evidence-based technical support. The framework is divided into focused product areas, allowing businesses to target suits, heated jackets, marine safety helmets or balaclavas rather than the whole requirement. Each lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the buyer intends to award at least one agreement per lot. ## Notice Team Leidos are proud to be delivering the logistics commodities and services transformation (LCS(T)) Delivery partner contracts (LCS (T)/0001 dated 16.4.2015) on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) (the 'Prime Contract').
