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 Supply of First Field Dressings 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 both the following contacts: Names and Email addresses: christina.brice103@teamleidos.mod.uk and also steven.dangel100@teamleidos.mod.uk In the email request the documents related the Supply of First Field Dressings. 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 02/08/2026. As well as the PMEN documents, Team Leidos are proposing to hold an industry day to enable suppliers to showcase their product portfolio of potential First Field Dressing bandages. This is to gain further insights into the market, prior to a tender release. Dates will be confirmed in due course but we are likely anticipating early to mid-July 2026. If you would be interested in attending the Industry Day, please provide your response by the 26th June 2026. More details will follow. Industry Day Event – Prior Information Notice Team Leidos intends to hold an Industry Day in early to mid-July 2026 (exact date to be confirmed). Purpose of the event: • Enable the MOD Customer to present and demonstrate the potential requirements and application of First Field Dressings for Armed Forces personnel. • Provide an opportunity for suppliers to gain further insight into the types of First Field Dressing bandages which Team Leidos and MoD Customer is seeking to align with the requirement needs. • Support market engagement and insight gathering ahead of a potential tender release. Registration: Suppliers wishing to attend should register via email to the following contacts: Christina Brice – christina.brice103@teamleidos.mod.uk and also Steven Dangel - steven.dangel100@teamleidos.mod.uk Deadline: 26 June 2026 Further details will be issued following registration.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 33. The category anchor is Medical consumables (33140000); 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 332,1122 median · 94 average (766 of 2,112 with a bid count)6.1 average (889 of 2,112 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer38Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UK52715.5 median · 298.6 average (160 of 527 with a bid count)13.3 average (191 of 527 with named award suppliers)Not published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1994 median · 4 average (1 of 199 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 199 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.
