Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is initiating a tender for "France Transport Services," which aims to secure a contract for hired transport in France for a duration of three to four years. This procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract expected to start on December 1, 2017, and run until October 31, 2020. The primary location for service delivery will be the Paris area, with potential requirements for larger events throughout France. The open procurement method allows for broad participation, with the tender period concluding on May 26, 2017.

This contract presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in road transport services seeking to expand their operations in a high-profile environment. Businesses equipped to manage both large and small-scale transport needs, particularly those with a robust presence in Paris and a capacity for handling events, would be well-suited to compete. The focus on efficiency and value for money is likely to attract a range of transport service providers, from established firms to innovative new entrants in the market.

Notice Information

Notice Title

France Transport Services

Notice Description

The British Embassy Paris regularly has visits from delegations for large (COP21) and smaller events that require hired transport. In 2016, there has been both Euro2016 and Somme 100th. For each event we were required to go through a tender process due to the costs involved which is very labour intensive both for ourselves and the companies that tender. We have now decided, therefore, to tender for a 3-4 year contract for all hired transport in France to reduce our man hours while ensuring value for money. It is anticipated that most of the work will be in the Paris area with some larger events elsewhere in France.
