Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, located in London, has completed the procurement process for the provision of air conditioning services and maintenance at the British High Commission in Dar es Salaam. This tender, classified under the 'Repair and maintenance services' category (CPV code 50000000), followed an open procedure and was tailored below the threshold level, inviting proposals from suitable suppliers. The procurement process has moved to the award phase as of 25th July 2024, with Centurion Company Limited being awarded the contract, valued at £43,852. The service contract is scheduled to commence on 1st August 2024 and will end on 31st July 2027.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for growth in organisations specialising in maintenance services, especially those with a large operational scale. While small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) might not find this particular tender suitable as per the suitability criteria indicated, businesses experienced in international operations and capable of meeting the logistical requirements of servicing a foreign mission in Tanzania would find it advantageous to engage with similar future opportunities. The open procurement method also ensures a competitive environment, favouring companies that can offer high-quality services at competitive prices.
