Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is conducting a selective tender process for the refurbishment of the British Embassy's Chancery Office in Paris, France. The project, with a budget of £9 million, aims to deliver modern working conditions and involves significant structural alterations, internal remodelling, and the replacement of electrical services. The tender period ends on 31st August 2018, and while the contract is expected to commence from 8th February 2019, the construction will need to comply with UK building regulations despite being in France.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for construction firms, particularly those with experience in international projects and refurbishment, to expand their business. Companies that possess capabilities in structural alteration, health and safety management, and logistical coordination would be well-suited to compete. The requirement for pre-qualification via the Foreign & Commonwealth Office Procurement Portal means interested firms need to act promptly to fulfill registration and respond to the tender documentation.
