UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), located in London, has completed a contract for the provision of vehicle batteries for the British Embassy in Baghdad. The procurement followed an open competition process beneath the threshold limit, with the contract starting on 1st July 2025 and running until 30th June 2026, with the possibility of a one-year extension. The main procurement category is goods, specifically lead batteries, which were to be delivered to Iraq. Toyota W BSS has been awarded the active contract, valued at £114,999 GBP, following the award stage completed on 19th August 2025. The FCDO functions within the UK Central Government as the contracting authority for this tender.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses involved in the supply of lead batteries or those capable of meeting stringent delivery and service requirements. Large enterprises, like Toyota W BSS, which received the award, are ideally suited to such opportunities due to their ability to fulfill engagement terms, which include delivering high-quality products in compliance with agreed specifications and maintaining responsive service. The tender criteria emphasized both technical and commercial offerings, representing an advantageous opportunity for suppliers who can competitively balance cost and performance efficiency. Businesses in or near Iraq, or those with robust logistical capabilities in the region, are particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts.
