Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has recently completed the procurement process for the provision of security guarding services at the British Embassy in Berlin. The contracting process was conducted using an open procedure, and the awarded contract, valued at €1,994,681.23, has been granted to Securitas GmbH Sicherheitsdienste. The procurement was initiated as a tender under the regime of defence and security, with the tender process open to all eligible suppliers. The procurement planning began as far back as 2025, leading to the award determined on 26 June 2026. The contract is set to commence on 1 September 2026, continuing for an initial period until 31 August 2029, with potential extensions based on performance.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in security services, particularly those experienced in delivering high-quality security solutions in sensitive environments like embassies. SMEs particularly stand to benefit, as demonstrated by the awarded contract to Securitas GmbH Sicherheitsdienste, classified as an SME. Businesses that can demonstrate a strong technical capability, robust financial health, and adherence to compliance and health and safety standards would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. Furthermore, firms with a proven track record in managing sub-contractors and implementing safeguarding frameworks would leverage competitive advantages in similar open procurement processes. The potential for contract renewals based on sustained performance offers further growth opportunities for the successful service provider.
