Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has completed the procurement process for security guarding services at the British Embassy in Budapest. The award was granted on 19th November 2024, and the contract, valued at £224,706, will commence on 1st January 2025 and conclude on 31st December 2027. This tender, categorised within the security services industry (CPV code 79710000), followed an open procedure and was suitable for SMEs. The procurement process included multiple delivery locations spanning British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and other international regions. Key dates of note included the tender period's end on 9th September 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in security services, particularly those operating within or seeking to expand into the European market. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in security solutions could benefit from such contracts that span multiple regions, providing consistent and long-term revenue streams over the three-year duration of the contract. Partnering organisations like Securitas, the contract's awardee, demonstrate the scale and reliability expected by the FCDO for safeguarding government facilities abroad. Therefore, businesses with a strong record in security services and aspirations for international growth should consider engaging in similar open procurement opportunities provided by government departments like the FCDO.
