Longstanding Corporate Ethics Award Holders Near a Decade of Accreditation

Congratulations to Leidos Supply Limited, part of Leidos and TVS Supply Chain Solutions (TVS SCS), two of our longest standing CIPS Corporate Ethics award holders, who have proudly maintained their accreditation for nearly a decade.

Ben Farrell recently visited their Bristol offices to present the awards in person and to learn more about the outstanding work being delivered through the Logistics Commodities & Services Transformation (LCST) Programme.

LCST Programme for the UK Ministry of Defence is a critical effort to enhance and improve the UK’s defence supply chain. The programme provides essential services such as storage and distribution for the MOD's materiel, including a global freight service and the procurement and inventory management of 70,000 commodity NATO Stock Number (NSNs).
