Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has finalised two procurement processes for security guarding services at the UK's Mission to the UN and WTO in Geneva. Both processes involved selective procurement methods under restricted procedures. The first tender, completed with an active award status, contracted Protectas SA with a contract value of 2,627,608 CHF for services commencing from 16 August 2024. The contract includes an initial three-year period, with possible extension options. The second tender, active and with a three-year duration starting on 1 October 2024, involves a budget of £2,488,108 GBP, and is both aligned with CPV classifications for guard and security services and subject to additional investigation service requirements under TED categories. Suppliers were invited to participate via the FCDO’s e-procurement portal, with tender documentation available until 19 March 2024.

These procurements create extensive opportunities for businesses experienced in security services to collaborate with a distinguished government body. The tenders require high-quality service delivery, strong customer support, adherence to value for money, and compliance with legal standards, making them ideal for firms adept in providing reliable security and responsive support. Additionally, businesses capable of engaging proactively with changing local and national requirements in Switzerland and ensuring first-class service would be particularly well-suited. Through participating in these tenders, companies can secure substantial contracts and enhance their reputational standing by aligning with the esteemed FCDO.
