Supply and Support of Diagnostic Ultrasound Devices - RFI

BACKGROUND

In April 15 the MOD signed a contract with Leidos Europe Ltd to provide the procurement and inventory management of commodity items (as well as the storage and distribution services) 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.

FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS

Team Leidos would like to make interested suppliers aware that it intends to invite tenders for the Supply and Support of Diagnostic Ultrasound Devices for use in UK Medical Facilities, with a view to awarding Contracts that will commence in 2020.

Team Leidos require these devices to be shipped to a central warehouse prior to installation in Military Medical Facilities within the UK.
