On 25th February 2026 at the Celtic Manor Golf Club, the Team Leidos Engage 26, supplier engagement event will bring industry partners together to enhance the resilience of defence uniform supply chains and encourage innovation.
With the introduction of the Procurement Act 2023, the rules of engagement are changing. PCIAW® is attending to ensure our members are positioned at the forefront of these changes, bridging the gap between innovative textile manufacturing and the rigorous requirements of the UK Armed Forces.
For our members, “resilience” isn’t a buzzword. It means navigating complex auditing processes and meeting specific ISO standards while maintaining a lean, responsive supply chain. This event is the direct line to the teams managing those contracts.
Critical Insights on the Agenda:
- The Procurement Act 2023: Understanding the legal shifts in how contracts are awarded.
- JOSCAR & JAGGAER: Mastering the portals that gatekeep entry into the defence sector.
- Team Leidos Auditing: Direct clarity on what is expected from your facilities and quality control.
PCIAW®: Advocating for Your Expertise
PCIAW®’s presence at Engage 26 is about more than attendance; it is about representation. We are there to support members who provide the high-performance fabrics, ergonomic designs, and sustainable manufacturing processes that the modern soldier requires.
Collaboration across the industry is the only way to meet the dual demands of technical excellence and supply chain security. If you are a member looking to scale your involvement with the MoD, this is where you need to be to demonstrate your capabilities to Team Leidos.
