Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is currently in the award stage of the procurement process for Security Guarding Services in the Russian Network. This procurement, classified under "Guard services," is taking place in the UK and follows a limited procurement method due to the ongoing conflict in Russia. The current contract, which has been extended for an additional 12 months, was signed on 30 March 2022 and is set to expire on 30 September 2023. This decision was necessitated by the challenging environment for conducting procurements in Russia, where few organisations are willing to engage.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in security services, particularly those with experience operating in complex international contexts. Companies that can provide robust security solutions while navigating the geopolitical landscape would be ideally positioned to compete. The extension of the contract may allow established suppliers to maintain their services, but it also presents a chance for other qualified security firms to demonstrate their capabilities for future tenders once conditions allow for more competitive bidding processes.
