Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has successfully concluded the procurement process for the supply of natural gas to the British Embassy Paris, covering its network of official and residential properties. The procurement falls under the industry category of natural gas (CPV code 09123000) with international delivery locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, United Kingdom, and the Rest of the World. The process utilized a limited procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication, as it was above the threshold. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with a contract period set to begin on 1st January 2025 and end on 31st December 2027. The tender period concluded on 26th June 2024, and the award was published on 14th August 2024. Ekwateur, a large-scale supplier based in Paris, France, has been awarded the contract valued at £294,089 GBP.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale suppliers in the natural gas industry, given the extensive geographical coverage and the substantial contract value. While the opportunity specifically benefited Ekwateur, due to the competitive nature of such contracts, future similar tenders could present lucrative opportunities for businesses with robust supply chain capabilities in natural gas distribution. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could also find this sector promising, as the suitability criteria for this procurement indicate potential inclusivity for SMEs in similar future opportunities, although this particular contract was awarded to a large supplier. Businesses aiming to supply natural gas to government entities or international embassies should consider monitoring similar tenders for future participation.
