Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has completed the procurement process for the stage 4 design peer review services of the new High Commissioner's Residence project in Port Louis, Mauritius. This procurement, part of the tender process, was conducted as a competitive quotation exercise below the threshold, focusing on evaluation by programme compliance and fee proposal. The award was given to Ridge and Partners LLP, marking the completion of the procurement stage. The contract runs from 23 June 2025 to 24 July 2026, classified under the CPV code 71241000, involving feasibility study and advisory services, and is deemed suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in design peer review and consultancy services, particularly those adept at working with government projects. As the procurement involved a competitive quotation below the threshold, it provides a unique entry point for SMEs to gain governmental contracts, thus bolstering their portfolios with high-profile projects. Businesses with expertise in feasibility studies, programme analysis, and advisory services, particularly those familiar with the RIBA framework, would be well positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The project's international scope, coupled with the prestige associated with working for a governmental entity like the FCDO, presents an excellent opportunity for expanding business reach and enhancing credibility.
