UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, a central government public authority in the United Kingdom, has initiated a procurement process for the acquisition of a fleet vehicle to replace the current service vehicle at the British Embassy in Dubai. The procurement process, titled "Purchase of Fleet Vehicle for British Embassy Dubai," falls under the goods industry category, specifically motor vehicles, and is targeted for delivery in the United Arab Emirates. The procurement was conducted through a limited competition method, owing to its classification as a below-threshold process. The contract was awarded to AL FUTTAIM MOTORS COMPANY LLC, signifying the tender's completion, with the contract active from 10th November 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses within the automotive sector, particularly those capable of supplying motor vehicles fit for diplomatic and official purposes. Large-scale suppliers operating in the Middle Eastern regions, like AL FUTTAIM MOTORS, are well-suited to participate in similar procurements, given their capacity to deliver and support vehicle fleets internationally. The process underscores potential avenues for business growth for companies looking to engage with UK government contracts abroad, leveraging expertise in vehicle supply and maintenance within the specified location.
