The extension builds on more than a decade of collaboration between Leidos, the MOD and Team Leidos partners and suppliers to strengthen the UK defence supply chain. During the extension, Leidos will continue to protect service continuity while advancing supply chain resilience, inventory visibility, digital capability, operational support and value for money.
