Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is in the planning stage of a tendering process for the provision of brokerage services and medical insurance for the British Embassy in Quito. The procurement process, classified under the services category, specifically targets the insurance brokerage and medical insurance sectors. The primary location for this contract opportunity is the United Kingdom, with engagement activities starting as early as 2nd June 2025, aiming towards a contract period commencing on 1st September 2025 and concluding on 31st August 2028, with a potential extension until 2030. This substantial contract, valued at approximately £495,722, is above the procurement threshold and invites central government public authority suppliers to express their interest.

The contract requires a professional entity capable of delivering comprehensive insurance coverage solutions for the embassy staff, aligning with the FCDO's operational needs. Firms with robust experience in international brokerage services, particularly those familiar with navigating government contracts, would be well-positioned to compete for this opportunity, given the expected service quality and compliance standards. Engaging with this procurement could lead to enhanced business credibility and new avenues for growth in the governmental sector.
