Summary of the contracting process

The contract award for the provision of event catering services for the British Embassy in Madrid was finalised by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office on 14th July 2025. The procurement process, categorised under services and catering, took place in London although the services will be executed in Spain. The contract, awarded to Aga Catering, is set to run from 19th June to 31st July 2025. This tender was procured using a limited competition method under legal basis 2023/54 according to UK legislation, highlighting its below-threshold nature in procurement.

This opportunity is significant for catering businesses looking to expand their international presence, particularly those already equipped to operate in Spain. With central government authorities as the client, it offers potential for substantial business growth and relationship-building. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in embassy events or similar catering requirements are well-suited to grasp such opportunities, potentially enhancing their portfolio and reputation within governmental and diplomatic circles.
