Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to replace the existing underground fuel tank at the British Embassy in Rabat, Morocco, with a new above-ground tank. Categorised under "services," this contract falls within the domain of decommissioning and infrastructure replacement, specifically in storage services and construction work. The procurement was conducted through an open competition method, below the threshold, with legal oversight under the UK Parliament's regulations. This process started with the tender issued on 19 March 2025 and was followed through to the award stage with a completion status dated 24 October 2025. The contract, valued at £56,058.79, is active from 5 November 2025 to 4 January 2026.

This tender offers notable growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the construction and infrastructure sectors, particularly those with expertise in storage tank installations and dismantling works. Successfully awarded to Société D'industrie et de Technologie Pétrolière, a Moroccan SME, the opportunity underscores the potential for businesses with capabilities in handling large-scale decommissioning and installation tasks. Companies adept in fuel storage solutions and interested in expanding their footprint in international government projects, especially in the Middle East and North Africa regions, would likely benefit from such engagements. With a primary focus on safety and efficiency in fuel storage maintenance endeavours, this tender paves the way for strategic business development in governmental partnerships.
