## Summary

Leidos Supply Ltd is exploring future arrangements for the supply and manufacture of unlicensed medicines for the Ministry of Defence. The requirement sits within Team Leidos’ wider logistics service for the MOD, which covers procurement and inventory management of commodity items, as well as storage and distribution. The medicines requirement is intended to help meet the MOD’s ongoing needs, and the buyer is seeking information about innovative approaches and current market developments to inform its future strategy. The goods are pharmaceutical products, with delivery in the United Kingdom. TVS Supply Chain Solutions Ltd is involved in conducting parts of the evaluation.

This is a planning-stage preliminary market engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. Leidos intends to investigate options for meeting the requirement and gather information and views from companies, suppliers and manufacturers to shape its future procurement strategy. Interested businesses are asked to request the engagement documents and return completed responses; the buyer’s stated closing date for this engagement is 30 November 2026, with responses requested as soon as possible. The buyer expects a framework agreement, with a future notice anticipated by 19 April 2027. The estimated framework value is £2 million to £3 million, with a stated gross value of £3.6 million. The planned contract period is 4 October 2027 to 3 October 2031. The requirement is planned as a single lot.

The engagement is suited to pharmaceutical manufacturers, suppliers and businesses able to supply or manufacture unlicensed medicines. Companies with experience proposing innovative ways to meet specialist medicine requirements may be particularly relevant, as Team Leidos is seeking market intelligence on current innovation and approaches that could inform its future strategy. Suppliers able to explain their products, manufacturing or supply capabilities, and how they could support MOD requirements, can use the engagement to contribute useful information before the procurement strategy is settled. The requirement forms part of a wider logistics service involving procurement, inventory management, storage and distribution, so businesses able to work within a supply-chain environment may also have relevant experience. The planned lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No tender has yet been invited, so this is a preparation and market-engagement stage rather than a bid opportunity.

## 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) 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 investigate innovative approaches to fill our Supply and Manufacture of Unlicensed Medicines requirements. It is the aim of this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice (PMEN) to encourage companies, suppliers, or manufacturers to make us aware 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 request the PMEN documents please contact: Name and Email address macy.johnson248@teamleidos.mod.uk In the email request the documents related the Supply and Manufacture of Unlicensed Medicines. The documents will then be sent for completion and should be returned to the same email addresses before the deadline. Responses are required as soon as possible to inform next steps, but the PMEN will remain open until 30/11/2026. The value of this framework is estimated to be between PS2,000,000 - PS3,000,000
