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) 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 investigate innovative approaches to fill our future first aid extinguisher requirements in response to the recent ECHA proposal to ban PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).

Our aim is to maintain or improve our current capability around first aid (AKA portable) extinguishers (Water, CO2, Wet Chemical). It is the aim of this RFI 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 range.

Team Leidos wishes to generate interest, information and views with other companies to understand the current market innovation for the replacement of PFAS in First Aid Extinguishers via this Request for Information (RFI) and gain useful intelligence that can help our requirement.

To request the RFI documents please contact:

Christina Brice: christina.brice103@teamleidos.mod.uk

Courtney Upington: Courtney.Upington100@mod.gov.uk

Request the RFI documents related to the supply of PFAS free alternative first aid extinguisher. 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 RFI will remain open until 30/09/23
