Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office has issued a tender titled "Provision of Armed Mobile Security and Residential Security Team, BE Tripoli" within the security services industry category. The procurement stage is currently in the "selective" phase, with a tender period ending on January 3, 2024. The contract is set to start on April 1, 2024, and run until March 31, 2027. The total contract value is £18,500,000 GBP. Potential bidders must be UK or Gibraltar established suppliers due to national security reasons.

This opportunity to provide armed security services presents a strategic growth opportunity for UK-based security companies with expertise in armed mobile security and residential security. Businesses offering top-tier customer service, flexibility, and compliance with national and international laws are well-suited to compete. The requirement to be UK or Gibraltar established limits competition but provides a niche market for eligible providers looking to collaborate with the FCDO and enhance their portfolio within the security services sector.
