Land February 18, 2020

Lincad has won a contract from Team Leidos to manufacture batteries which will be used by the British Armed Forces.

The new contract means that Lincad will manufacture batteries and cells for use by British Forces through Team Leidos. In addition to its own bespoke products, Lincad supplies cells and batteries of various chemistries from other manufacturers, using its in-house testing facilities to approve products and to demonstrate continued product performance over time.

This is critical where products are used for mission-critical environments, with many requiring approval to UK Defence Standards. This contract is in addition to the business awarded by Team Leidos to Lincad in June 2018.

Lincad’s Joint Managing Director Peter Slade said: “This contract is in addition to the business awarded by Team Leidos to Lincad in June 2018.”

“We have been supplying products to military customers, including the UK MOD, for more than 30 years. This win highlights the confidence that defence customers have in Lincad to supply high performance product, often in very large volumes, at a competitive price.”

Lincad will also be employing its capacity to package and label supplied products for all modes of transport, including full adherence with the stringent IATA regulations. The company’s own Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA) supports all aspects of product supply.

Team Leidos, led by Leidos Europe Ltd, is helping to implement the MOD’s Logistic Commodities & Services Transformation (LCS[T]) programme which is designed to enhance and improve the UK’s defence supply chain. Providing procurement, distribution and storage services for UK MOD material, Team Leidos is aiming to transform the supply chain by integrating a complex mixture of services, at low risk, using a modern suite of systems.
