Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has completed the procurement process for the supply of electricity and gas for its British Embassy properties in Brussels, Belgium. This procurement, classified under the "Electricity" industry category (CPV code: 09310000), reached the award stage on 24 January 2025. The procurement, carried out through a limited procedure without prior publication due to the commodity market reasons, includes two lots: one for electricity and another for gas. Both lots, with flexible contract duration options and pricing mechanisms, were awarded to Electrabel nv, a large supplier based in Brussels. Key contracts were signed on 1 January 2025, with the electricity contract valued at €798,337.32 and the gas contract at €752,922.39.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities especially for firms in the energy sector, able to supply electricity and gas with competitive pricing. Companies experienced in handling commodity market procurements and offering flexible contract options are well-suited to compete for similar contracts. Engaging in such contracts with government bodies like the FCDO can provide substantial, stable revenue streams and foster long-term business relationships.
