UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), a central government public authority located in London, has completed a procurement process for the purchase of fleet vehicles for the British Embassy in Beirut. The contract, identified by ID CPG/12763/2025, involves replacing three vehicles, two of which are hybrid and one fuel-powered, under a procurement stage marked as "complete." This process adhered to a "limited" procurement method, as it was below the threshold for open competition, and was finalised with a contract signed on 31st July 2025. The procurement, targeting the goods category, had a gross amount of GBP 90,483.97 and was centralised in Lebanon, focusing on motor and electric vehicles. The award notice was published on 4th November 2025.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses dealing in motor vehicles, especially those supplying hybrid and electric models, to gain traction within the governmental framework. Firms that have the capability to provide high-quality vehicles and maintain a robust supply chain could particularly benefit from this engagement, given the prominence and recurring need associated with government vehicle procurements. Large-scale businesses with an expertise in the production and distribution of vehicles, like the awardees Boustany United Machineries Co. S.A.L (BUMC) and Rasamny Younis Motor Co (RYMCO), would be well-suited to the stringent demands of such contracts, allowing for potential growth and diversification within the European and Middle Eastern markets.
