Lincad secures extension of battery supply contract

Land February 3, 2021

Battery manufacturer and supplier, Lincad, has been awarded a twelve-month extension of its battery supply contract with defence and logistics company, Team Leidos.

The contract will see Lincad continue supplying a range of primary batteries for distribution to British armed forces deployed around the world.

The batteries are mostly lithium chemistry, with many used in mission-critical applications. They are therefore required to conform to exacting UK Defence Standards. Lincad has invested further in its battery testing facilities to ensure that product supplied continues to maintain these required standards.

Lincad also provides Team Leidos expertise in packing and labelling, ensuring suitable packaging for various transport modes, which includes full adherence with IATA transportation regulations.

The original three-year contract with Team Leidos began in Q1 2018. After demonstrating good performance during the contract, Leidos has agreed to extend the contract until Q4 2021.

Commenting on the extension, Peter Slade, Joint Managing Director at Lincad, said: “We are delighted to continue working with Team Leidos for another twelve months. With the UK military’s involvement in managing the coronavirus pandemic, it is more important than ever that our frontline personnel are fully supported, and Lincad is proud to be part of that supply chain.”
