Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has completed the procurement for the "Provision of Engineering Maintenance Services at the British Embassy Madrid." This contract involves inspection, testing, maintenance, and cleaning of building engineering services and equipment, with required personnel holding DV security clearance. The initial tender was active as of September 2025, with a submission deadline on 7th November 2025. An award was subsequently made to Tenax Ltd, with the contract starting from 1st January 2026 and expected to end by 31st December 2027, with a potential extension up to December 2028. The procurement was conducted via an open method, specifically a below-threshold open competition.

This contract offers significant business opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) skilled in building maintenance and engineering services. The industry classification falls under repair and maintenance services, providing an avenue for businesses experienced in these areas to expand their operations internationally, specifically in Spain. Given the requirement for DV security clearance, businesses with pre-cleared staff or expertise in managing secure environments would find this an advantageous contract, enhancing their portfolio with a prestigious client like the FCDO. The contract’s technical and price assessment ratio also allows quality-focused businesses to compete effectively on merit.
