- 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 60% 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. Bidders’ submitted Technical Data Sheets shall be evaluated against the specifications set out in the SOR and Annex A to the StOR. Leidos reserves the right to allocate a FAIL marking to any Bidder that does not achieve the minimum nutritional requirements (including additives) across 100% of the line items. Leidos may seek clarification to inform its decision. If 1 product is allocated a FAIL marking following any clarification, the Bidder shall be discounted and not evaluated further.
- 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 agreement for this requirement. As per the Instructions for preparing tenders, all prices submitted must be firm (non-variable) ex-VAT, and inclusive of Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) and any volume or business discounts.

| supplier not published | — | 20 Aug 2026 | CancelledFollowing completion of the tender evaluation process, the Contracting Authority has concluded that none of the tenders received satisfied the minimum technical requirements set out in the procurement documents and, consequently, no technically compliant tender was identified. In accordance with the Authority's rights under the procurement, the tendering procedure has therefore been discontinued and no contract award will be made pursuant to this competition. The Authority intends to undertake a comprehensive review of the requirement, specification and sourcing strategy before determining the most appropriate procurement approach for any future requirement. Accordingly, this procurement is being terminated without contract award. |
