What is being bought

Published requirement description

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 inform the market that we have published a tender for the supply and support of Ice Making Machines.

The total estimated value for this Open competition framework will be between £770,00 and £1,450,000 with a total contract length of 4 Years.

The purpose of this tender notice is to ensure all interested companies, suppliers, and manufacturers are aware of this opportunity. Suppliers are invited to submit all responses for the proposed tender via the Jaggaer platform.

To request the tender documents, please log in to Jaggaer and follow the steps to access the Leidos opportunity where this tender has been published. 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. Any queries regarding the tender itself, as opposed to the system, should be directed through Jaggaer's messaging centre.

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored
  • 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 four contracts if necessary to ensure full coverage of the Schedule of Requirements (SoR) items and best value for money.
What this means for your bid
  • “The support and supply of Ice Making Machines” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
