Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office UK is currently conducting an open procurement process for security services, specifically to provide 24/7 security guarding for its Embassy in Banjul, Gambia. The tender, titled "United Kingdom-London: Security services," is classified under the works category, with a total contract value of £2,400,000. The tender period will conclude on 17 March 2015, while the contract itself is set to commence on 17 November 2015 and run until 17 November 2018. The contract will be fulfilled at the Embassy located in London, SW1A 2AH.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in security services, particularly those with experience in providing comprehensive security solutions for diplomatic missions and high-profile entities. Companies that are well-versed in working in dynamic environments and can deliver around-the-clock security would be especially well-suited to submit competitive bids for this contract. The scale of the contract also suggests the need for robust resources and capabilities, which larger firms might possess, although innovative smaller firms could leverage niche expertise and service quality to stand out in the bidding process.
