UK, 05 October 2026 – TVS Supply Chain Solutions (TVS SCS), one of the world’s leading providers of end-to-end supply chain services, is proud to announce its participation in Forfield, a strategic alliance that brings together Kuehne+Nagel, TVS Supply Chain Solutions, Turner & Townsend and Atos to support UK Defence organisations in managing critical supply chains.
The demands placed on Defence organisations continue to evolve, driven by global uncertainty, increasing supply chain complexity, emerging technologies and the need to respond rapidly to changing operational requirements. Through a single alliance, Forfield draws on expertise in logistics, procurement, digital systems and programme delivery to help improve visibility, strengthen decision-making and manage operational risk more effectively.
Forfield aims to improve the availability of the equipment and materials required to carry out critical Defence missions. To achieve this, the alliance brings more than 170 years of combined experience serving defence customers, including the UK Ministry of Defence. Each of the four partners contributes a defined capability:
Together, the four partners employ more than 14,000 people in the UK. Each holds the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award for its support of the Armed Forces Community.
“Forfield combines the complementary expertise of four highly experienced partners to support the evolving logistics requirements of the UK Defence sector. Kuehne+Nagel brings its UK and global logistics expertise to ensure critical equipment and materials reach the right place at the right time.”

“The most capable programmes connect commercial data, schedule performance, risk indicators, digital capability and supplier health into a single decision-making environment. In complex programme environments, mapping these components across the entire supply chain is where genuine value is built.”
