What is being bought

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), that were 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 consider approaches that could fulfill our requirements for the Supply and Fitting of Sports Bras to UK Armed Forces. The requirement consists of the following 3 items: Encapsulated Bra Compression Bra Combination Bra The bras need to be able to support the recruits during high impact activities. Sizing range needs to be between 26A through to 38H. All items are to conform to their relevant specifications as detailed in the tender documentation. The specification will detail the makeup of the garment, sizing, care label requirements and testing required. 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: Jade Hutton jade.hutton115@teamleidos.mod.uk In the email request the documents related the Supply and Fitting of Sports Bras.. 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 13/04/2026

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 18. The category anchor is Brassieres (18321000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 184068 median · 59.6 average (140 of 406 with a bid count)4.6 average (149 of 406 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK15814 median · 152.7 average (43 of 158 with a bid count)7.8 average (48 of 158 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)4339 median · 39 average (1 of 43 with a bid count)11 average (1 of 43 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
