The Authority advised during the update that it intended to carry out a Pre Market Engagement (PME) exercise in support of the Integrated Readiness Output Contract (IROC) and Other Platforms and Services (OP&S) elements. This is a calling notice for expressions of interest in taking part in that PME which will be conducted as a Request For Information (RFI) exercise to inform the LIOS team on market conditions, identify routes to market and inform the related procurement strategies. LIOS is a once in a generation opportunity to transform Land vehicle support between 2025-30 and, in doing so, bring MOD and Industry closer to deliver Defence intent in accordance with the Land Industrial Strategy. The vision for LIOS is to deliver longer term, more output-focussed equipment support solutions that proactively and intelligently manage in-scope capabilities through life in accordance with capability management plans. LIOS will deliver sustainable enterprise efficiencies to optimise support and capabilities through-life, combining upkeep, update and upgrade services. IROC, including but not limited to provision of the services currently delivered via the extant Service Provision and Transformation Contract (SPTC), covers a wide range of in-service land equipment and is intended to be a pan Integrated Operating Service (IOS) service provider incentivised to reduce duplication of work, maximise pan-Defence Lines of Development (DLOD) non-Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) efficiencies and leverage economies of scale. OP&S including but not limited to provision of PDS via contracts such as PMETS and other support services for in-scope platforms not included within platform IOS contracts from April 2030 and will provide IOS pillar support for those platforms that continue beyond 2030 but do not have a planned programme of Upgrades and Update. IROC and OP&S are initially being managed as 1 over-arching programme until the procurement strategy is matured however there may be 2 or more procurements. The role and full scope of the services will be developed and matured prior to formal procurement activity commencing; this PME exercise will support that process. IROC/OP&S type activities may include but are not limited to:- - Equipment Servicing and Maintenance (Upkeep delivery) - Inventory Procurement & Provisioning - Receipt, Issue, Inspection and Storage (RIIS) of equipment - Post Design Services and Engineering Support Estimated contract dates (start and finish) – 01/04/2030 to 31/03/2045 with possible option years Estimated value - £3-7bn inc applicable VAT Read full description ## CPV classification Repair and maintenance services of military vehicles Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-069eef-2026-05-21T11:57:40+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-069eef-2026-05-21T11:57:40+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
