Summary of the contracting process

FCDO Services is seeking a contractor for electrical and mechanical upgrade works at its property in La Paz, Bolivia. The work covers essential electrical and mechanical engineering installations, including testing and remedial works, replacement of key distribution boards, and lighting upgrades to LED standards. The contractor will also assess the property’s lightning protection system, replace selected air-conditioning units and install a new heating system. This is a works requirement, with electrical engineering installation works as the main category and mechanical engineering installation works also included. The stated delivery location is La Paz, Bolivia, although the procurement record also associates the requirement with wider delivery locations. The buyer is FCDO Services, based at Hanslope Park in Milton Keynes.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure below the threshold. The deadline for submitting tenders was 27 August 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The contract period set by the buyer runs from 30 September 2026 to 29 January 2027. The requirement is presented as a single works package covering the electrical and mechanical upgrades described. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published procedure is an open competition, so eligible suppliers can submit offers directly rather than being selected from a restricted shortlist. The opportunity is for delivery at the specified property in La Paz, Bolivia.

This opportunity suits electrical and mechanical building-services contractors able to deliver coordinated upgrade works across an operational property. Relevant capability includes electrical testing, fault diagnosis and remedial works; distribution-board replacement; LED lighting installation; lightning-protection assessment; air-conditioning replacement; and heating-system installation. Suppliers should be able to manage different engineering disciplines, plan works safely on one site and complete testing and remedial activity alongside installation. The requirement may suit smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, particularly those with suitably qualified electrical and mechanical teams or established specialist partners. Contractors with experience delivering building-services upgrades, replacing electrical infrastructure and HVAC equipment, and commissioning systems would be well placed to compete.
