WHO WE ARE:

The Logistics Commodities & Services Transformation (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).
Working together as Team Leidos we are helping to transform the UK’s defence supply chain by providing an integration of a complex mixture of services, at low risk, using a modern suite of systems that will deliver one version of the truth. For the first time, the MOD will see the whole picture, as it is happening.

A PMO Benefits Realisation Manager is required to work within the Logistics Commodities & Services Transformation (LCST) programme at Leidos Europe initially on 1 14-month FTC.
Leidos Europe is the prime contractor in a consortium spanning Leidos Supply Limited, Kuehne + Nagel, TVS Supply Chain Solutions and smaller specialist companies, operating the commodity procurement, storage and distribution functions previously performed by the MOD’s Logistics Commodities and Services Operating Centre. LCST is implementing digital transformation for one of the world’s foremost military operations, while generating hundreds of millions in savings for the UK Government and Taxpayers.
