Official UK procurement notice
The Supply of Combat Garments - RN FR
Authority: LEIDOS SUPPLY, LIMITED (Central government)·On behalf of: TVS SUPPLY CHAIN SOLUTIONS LIMITED
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionTeam 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’). 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 Defence Clothing Team, which forms part of Leidos Supply Ltd. is considering the potential requirement for the supply of Combat Garments - RN FR on behalf of the UK MoD.
The total estimated value for this Framework Agreement will be between £29,548,000 and £73,869,000. The agreement will have an initial term of 5 years (60 months) with an option to extend incrementally for up to a total period of 1 year (12 months).
In addition, please note that as a framework agreement there is no guarantee of business.
If this is of further interest, please register on our eProcurement system, Jaggaer: leidos-supply.app.jaggaer.com ↗
Bidders will be able to register on the system, and once registered they can express their interest and complete their bid on there. Should Bidders have any queries regarding the system, please contact the support team on the front page of the Jaggaer website, where it says 'Need assistance?', for help. Anyqueries regarding the tender itself, as opposed to the system, should be directed through Jaggaer's messaging centre.
This procurement follows the withdrawal of an earlier tender exercise (where market engagement was carried out as part of that tender exercise). Whilst the intention had been to resume the current procurement, this is not feasible within the structure of the original tender exercise and so Team Leidos determined that re‑starting the procurement, rather than un‑pausing the previous exercise, was the most appropriate approach in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. No further preliminary market engagement has been carried out in advance of the re‑issued procurement, and accordingly no Preliminary Market Engagement Notice has been published, as permitted under sections 16 and 17 of the Procurement Act 2023.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Jun 2027, 23:59 BST.

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
- Qualification Stage: Bidders must achieve a PASS mark for all PASS/FAIL questions in order to be deemed compliant in the Qualification stage. Failure of any of the questions may result in a Bidder’s Tender not being evaluated further, past the point of failure.
- Technical Stage: Bidders who have successfully passed the Qualification Envelope will progress to the Technical Envelope evaluation. A benchmark score of 70% or higher is required for the weighted questions within the Question Set in order to be deemed compliant. Where applicable consensus of evaluators will be held, in order to establish an agreed score for responses. Failure of any of the questions may result in a Bidder’s Tender not being evaluated further, past the point of failure.
- Commercial Stage: The submitted prices of any Bidders whose bids have passed all the previous phases will be assessed. Leidos Supply Limited (LSL) intends to award a minimum of one contract for this requirement. However, LSL reserves the right to award up to one contracts if necessary to ensure full coverage of the Schedule of Requirements (SoR) items and best value for money.
No conditions of participation were published on the notice; check the tender documents.
- Turnover usually expected at this size: about £29,515,255 (twice the annual value).
Turnover is an indicative market norm (≈2× annual value), not a published condition.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
