Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office procured facilities management services for the British Consulate General in Jerusalem, in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The requirement covers two service areas: mechanical system maintenance and HVAC deep cleaning; and electrical system maintenance, swimming pool equipment maintenance, barriers maintenance and gates maintenance. This is a facilities management services contract, delivered at the consulate. It is relevant to contractors able to maintain building mechanical and electrical systems, clean and service HVAC equipment, maintain swimming pool plant, and inspect or repair access barriers and gates. Suppliers may have addressed either service area or both, with a mandatory qualification submission applying to participation in either lot. The buyer is a central government department operating internationally.

The procurement is complete and both lots have been awarded following an open procedure. Lot 1, for mechanical system maintenance and HVAC deep cleaning, was awarded to Engineering Center for Heating and A/C Co. Ltd. for £101,345.25. Lot 2, for electrical systems, swimming pool equipment, barriers and gates, was awarded to Blue Waves Co. for £218,400. Each lot received one bid. The awards were made on 24 August 2026. Both contracts run from 8 September 2026 to 7 September 2028, with two possible one-year extensions to 7 September 2030. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 60% and commercial assessment at 40%. Technical assessment covered methodology, manpower and skills, safety and welfare, performance management and transition planning; commercial assessment considered maintenance costs, ad-hoc rates and materials mark-ups.

This award demonstrates established demand from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for specialist facilities maintenance at a diplomatic site in Jerusalem. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in the relevant building-services discipline: mechanical and HVAC maintenance and deep cleaning for the first requirement, or electrical, swimming pool, barrier and gate maintenance for the second. Strong evidence would include a clear delivery methodology, suitably skilled and available engineers and maintenance staff, robust safety and welfare arrangements, performance reporting and a controlled mobilisation or transition plan. Suppliers should also be able to price routine maintenance transparently, provide competitive ad-hoc rates and manage materials and spare-parts mark-ups. The opportunity may suit established local or regional facilities management contractors with sufficient operational capacity for a secure government premises.
