Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) is initiating a procurement process for the "FCO Overseas Construction Works - Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)" aimed at establishing a framework for construction works across its overseas estate. This project falls under the building construction work category and is situated in London, England. Currently in the planning stage, key engagement activities are scheduled with a due date for expressions of interest by 12:00 BST on 7th September 2018. The estimated value of projects under this DPS ranges from £1 million to £15 million, primarily targeting projects outside the UK.

This DPS presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in comprehensive construction services capable of managing projects from inception to completion, particularly in overseas locations. Companies with diverse capabilities that can handle both new builds and the restoration of historic properties would be well-suited to participate. The forthcoming market engagement events will provide further insights into the requirements, allowing prospective suppliers to ask questions and better align their offerings to the needs of the FCO.

Notice Title

FCO Overseas Construction Works - Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)

Notice Description

The FCO is looking to establish a Construction Works Dynamic Purchasing System to deliver Works projects on it overseas estate. The construction projects will be across offices and residential properties (including new builds and historic residences) for the FCO World Wide overseas estate only (NOT THE UK). The FCO will be looking for contractors who can deliver projects overseas with the skills and experience to deliver end to end projects with all disciplines covered. We are not looking for individual disciplines under this DPS. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office's (FCO) estate is unique with public asset with over 4600 properties, primarily overseas. The diplomatic estate exists because the UK needs overseas buildings to act as a secure and long-term base for our international diplomacy and for the Government's overseas operations. The FCO operates in 268 overseas locations with a combined asset value of over PS2 billion, covering 156 countries and 12 overseas territories. The value of these potential building projects is estimated to be between PS1 million and PS15 million pounds. The DPS will be run in two stages - Stage One: Suppliers complete a standard selection questionnaire.(SSQ) All suppliers who meet and pass the exclusion and section criteria within the SSQ must be admitted to the DPS and/or the relevant categories within it. Rejected suppliers are provided with feedback in order to enable them to re-apply at a later date should they wish to do so. Stage Two: Approved users (buyers, or 'Contracting Authorities') award individual contracts through the DPS. The buyer invites all potential providers on the DPS (or within a particular DPS category) to participate in a further competition to bid for a specific contract. Suppliers are not obliged to bid. 'Market Engagement Events' will be undertaken in London (location and dates will be issued via e-Mail at a later date). This is an opportunity to understand the requirements of the DPS in more detail, meet the team, and ask any questions. If you are interested in this DPS, and wish to attend a 'Market Engagement Event', please register your interest by forwarding an e-mail to CPG.Enquiries@fco.gov.uk - e-Mails must be clearly addressed with 'FCO construction DPS - Market Engagement' only (no later than 12:00hrs BST Friday 7th September 2018. Further details will be issued following the receipt of expressions of interest. Please note the FCO is only seeking interested parties to express an interest to participate at this time. This Early Engagement Notice is issued solely for the purpose of alerting the market to this DPS and is not a call to competition and does not constitute the commencement of the procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, participation in the market sounding exercise is not a pre-requisite for the future procurement process.
