Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) is seeking to procure security services in Nigeria, aimed at ensuring the safety and security of personnel under its duty of care. This tender, titled "Provision of Security Services - Nigeria," falls under the services category within the "Security services" industry. The procurement method utilised is selective, specifically a restricted procedure above the threshold, and the tender period is set to end on 23rd August 2019. The contract period is expected to commence on 1st February 2020 and will run until 31st January 2023, with potential extensions thereafter. Interested parties should note that the FCO's e-Procurement portal will be used for all submissions and communications.

This tender presents significant opportunities for security service providers, particularly those capable of operating in complex environments such as Nigeria and its neighbouring countries. Companies with experience in services including guarding, operational support, and tactical response may find this an advantageous undertaking. While the FCO is not currently seeking submissions, the listed contract value of approximately £4.97 million indicates the scale and potential for business engagement in this sector. Larger suppliers with proven track records and the capability to deliver on the diverse needs outlined in the tender are likely to be well-suited to compete in this procurement process.
