Delivery of other parts of the LCS(T) contract are delivered by Leidos Europe Ltd (LEL) and other partners (together ‘Team Leidos’). This requirement is subject to the Public Procurement Regulations and respective advertising action. The requirement is a complex one and the need to conduct a series of lengthy product testing phases during the tender process means that the overall length of the procurement is estimated to be approximately two and half years, from tender publication to contract award. This includes a full user trial which has been allocated a time period of one year. This in turn means that prospective bidders will need to make a substantial up-front commitment into the manufacturing of samples required for the trial periods. It has been estimated that this could be within the region of £100,000.00 with, for example, the Full User Trial phase alone likely to require the following samples: 1. Boots Combat, High Liability - 100 pairs of each solution 2. Boots Combat, Patrol - 100 pairs of each solution 3. Boots Desert Combat High Liability - 50 pairs of each solution 4. Boots Combat Cold Wet Weather - 50 pairs of each solution 5. Boots Combat Jungle - 50 pairs of each solution In order not to deter new entrants to the market and in order to allow the prospect of those up-front costs to be recouped during the lifetime of the contract, it is felt, following extensive market engagement, that a longer contract term is needed. A seven year framework would allow a five year period between contract award and beginning market engagement for the future contract; assuming that all proposed option periods are taken up. ## Lots (5) ### Lot 1: Jungle Boots - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 35812300 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Estimated Value:** £3,470,000 - **Description:** The Defence Clothing team, which forms part of Leidos Supply Ltd. is considering the potential requirement for the supply of Combat Boots on behalf of the UK MOD, consisting of multiple lots Jungle Combat Boots: Primarily used for patrolling and comb... - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 2: Cold Wet Weather Boots - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 18800000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Estimated Value:** £19,625,000 - **Description:** The Defence Clothing team, which forms part of Leidos Supply Ltd. is considering the potential requirement for the supply of Combat Boots on behalf of the UK MOD, consisting of multiple lots, Lot 2 Cold Wet Weather Boot: Primarily for use in cold/wet... - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 3: Patrol Boots - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 18800000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Estimated Value:** £10,000,000 - **Description:** The Defence Clothing team, which forms part of Leidos Supply Ltd. is considering the potential requirement for the supply of Combat Boots on behalf of the UK MOD, consisting of multiple lots Lot 3 Patrol Boots: Typically worn in and around the barrac... - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 4: Desert High Liability Boots - **Lot id:** `4` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 18800000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Estimated Value:** £13,000,000 - **Description:** The Defence Clothing team, which forms part of Leidos Supply Ltd. is considering the potential requirement for the supply of Combat Boots on behalf of the UK MOD, consisting of multiple lots High Liability Desert Combat Boots: Issued to Tri-Service p... - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 5: High Liability Combat Boots - **Lot id:** `5` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 18800000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Estimated Value:** £51,100,000 - **Description:** The Defence Clothing team, which forms part of Leidos Supply Ltd. is considering the potential requirement for the supply of Combat Boots on behalf of the UK MOD, consisting of multiple lots High Liability Combat Boots: Issued to Tri-Service personne... - **Options published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F003900-2024) - **Last Source Update:** 2024-02-06T14:26:37.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-28T22:54:26.644Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-02bff4
