Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has completed a procurement process for the refurbishment of wet rooms at the British Embassy in Baghdad, under the title "Pods Wet Room Refurbishment for British Embassy Baghdad." This contract falls within the construction industry, specifically works for complete or part construction and civil engineering, as well as sanitary works. The procurement reached the award stage on 18 September 2025, with the contract having been actively in place since 1 August 2025 and is scheduled to last until 31 December 2025. The procurement method was limited and involved a below-threshold competition. K2 International, based in Washington DC, was awarded the contract, valued at £70,315.90.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in civil engineering and sanitary works. Enterprises experienced in managing refurbishment projects for diplomatic or governmental institutions are likely well-suited to compete in similar future procurements. The limited competition method suggests that the opportunity was selectively targeted, which might offer advantages to businesses with niche expertise or existing relations within governmental circles. This contract highlights potential for future collaboration with central government agencies like the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in construction endeavours abroad.
