Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of security services at the British Embassy in Kuwait was recently completed by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, a UK government ministry. The procurement falls under the services category and specifically involves security services, identified by CPV code 79710000. The procurement adopted a selective method known as the restricted procedure. Initially tendered in August 2024, the contract was awarded in April 2025, with key bidding periods concluding by the end of September 2024. The contract, which was awarded to Al Mulla Security Services Co. K.S.C.C., began on 1st May 2025 and is set to run until 30th April 2028, with a potential two-year extension subject to annual reviews.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in security services, particularly those with a presence or operational capabilities in Kuwait. Suitable businesses would include those that can demonstrate the ability to meet stringent security and legal requirements in an international context. Companies able to offer competitive pricing have an advantageous position, as price was a key criterion in this procurement process. The contract's potential for extensions further enhances the value proposition for businesses seeking long-term involvement and collaboration with the UK government in providing comprehensive security solutions at embassies abroad.
