Leidos Supply Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos Europe Ltd, is undertaking this procurement as a body governed by public law and as a subcontractor to Leidos Europe Ltd to meet a requirement of the UK Ministry of Defence pursuant to the Logistics Commodities and Services Transformation Delivery Partner Contract (LCS(T)/0001 dated 16.4.2015) between Leidos Europe Ltd and the UK Ministry of Defence.
From 2.4.2014 the Government introduced its new Government Security Classifications Policy (GSC) to replace the current Government Protective Marking Scheme.

The link below to the Gov.uk website provides information on the new GSC.

Leidos Supply Ltd reserves the right to amend any condition related to security of information to reflect any changes in national law or government policy. If any contract documents are accompanied by instructions on safeguarding classified information (e.g. a Security Aspects Letter), Leidos Supply Ltd reserves the right to amend the terms of these instructions to reflect any changes in national law or government policy, whether in respect of the applicable protective marking scheme, specific protective markings given, the aspects to which any protective marking applies, or otherwise
