Summary of the contracting process

The FCDO Services is initiating a procurement process planning to establish the "FCDO Services Global Works Framework," valued at £100,000,000, with the gross amount set at £120,000,000. This framework, which is being planned through an open procedure, covers multiple discipline lots focused on works such as repair and maintenance services for electrical and mechanical installations, fire-alarm systems, and building construction work. The main procurement category is works, and the framework agreement setting is confirmed, with a scheduled contract period starting from 1st April 2026 and ending on 31st March 2028. The milestone for supplier engagement involves a pre-market engagement questionnaire due by 12th September 2025, and a future notice is expected by 15th October 2025. The entire process is managed by FCDO Services based in Milton Keynes, UK.

This procurement initiative represents significant growth opportunities, especially for SMEs capable of delivering these specialised services worldwide. The open procedure invites reputable contractors to engage in competitive tenders for work packages, facilitating business expansion and increased market presence. Companies with expertise in electrical and mechanical system repairs, construction, and fire-alarm system installation are well-suited to participate in this framework, enabling them to align their offerings with public sector requirements and foster long-term contractual relationships with FCDO Services. This initiative not only encourages participation from small and medium enterprises but also supports the expansion of services in the global market, enhancing their portfolio and creating new business avenues.
