The Supply of Insecticides, Pesticides, Rodenticides and Personal Insect Repellent.

BACKGROUND

In April 15 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) 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 its Insecticides (and related products) with a view to awarding Contract(s) that will commence in early 2018.

Team Leidos intends to invite tenderers to bid against approximately 35 items. The requirement covers a wide range of Insect and Pest control products including but is not limited to:

Insecticides (including aerosol based Aircraft Disinsectant)

Rodenticides

Insect Repellent and Antiparasitic products

Miscellaneous Pest Control Products (including rodent baits and traps, fly papers, mosquito traps)

Swing fog generators

Products may be required to comply with specified British Standards and Defence Standards and will in most cases be subject to the Control of Pesticides Regulations and/or the Biocidal Products Regulations.

For more information about Defence Standards please see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/uk-defence-standardization and the standards themselves are available via the MOD's Standards Extranet Site that requires a short registration process: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/uk-defence-standardization#related-links. If you should have any issues accessing these Defence Standards electronically please contact us to resolve.
