Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is seeking to establish a mini-framework for sourcing and deploying qualified persons/teams with police investigatory and law enforcement expertise to UK Overseas Territories, under the title "UK Overseas Territories: Investigation & Law-Enforcement Flexible Call-Down Facility". This procurement falls under the industry category of police services (CPV: 75241100) and will cover various UK Overseas Territories including Anguilla, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Montserrat, Turks and Caicos Islands, and the British Virgin Islands. The procurement is currently in the tender stage with a submission deadline on 5 May 2025. The framework is expected to begin in June 2025 and run for up to four years with potential renewals. The procurement process will be conducted using an open procedure and interested suppliers can access the tender documentation through FCDO's eSourcing platform.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in police investigatory and law enforcement services. It is well-suited for businesses that can quickly mobilise and deploy expert resources to international locations, particularly those with experience in crisis management and high-stakes environments. Companies that secure a position on this framework could benefit from sustained engagement over several years, as the UK government seeks reliable partners to fulfil critical security obligations in its Overseas Territories. The flexible call-down nature of the framework means that ongoing mini-competitions will test both technical and value for money criteria, providing recurrent opportunities for qualified suppliers to deliver specialised services.
