Team Leidos is to produce £272 million in efficiencies under the Logistics Commodities and Services Transformation programme.
The Team Leidos consortium that is providing logistics services to the UK MoD will implement £272 million worth of savings in a ‘comprehensive mid-life refresh’ of its £6.7 billion Logistics Commodities and Services Transformation (LCST) programme contract.
MoD Defence Equipment & Support added in a 10 February statement that the contract amendment also includes enhanced performance metrics to drive improved customer outcomes, a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target and a commitment to a Net Zero plan.
Team Leidos was awarded the 13-year LCST contract in 2015. The consortium comprises Leidos Europe as prime contractor, supported by Kuhne+Nagel, TVS Supply Chain Solutions and Agility Logistics.
