Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has concluded the procurement process for Security Guarding Services for the British Embassy Yerevan. The procurement fell under the category of Public Security Services (CPV 75241000) and was processed as an open procedure. The service covers locations in Armenia and the United Kingdom, with the contract awarded to Premier Security. The contract, with an award date of 31st March 2025, amounts to GBP 122,705 and is now active. However, an earlier lot within this tender had been cancelled prior to this awarding stage.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in security services to expand their reach or consolidate their market presence, particularly those capable of operating across international territories such as the UK and Armenia. Companies with expertise in public and embassy security could find this type of procurement highly lucrative, especially given the potential for multi-year engagements and renewals mentioned in the active tender phase. Additionally, businesses that can meet the stringent requirements of government entities like the FCDO stand to benefit greatly from such opportunities.
