UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the purchase of furniture for the British Embassy in Muscat has been completed by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). Located in London, the FCDO is a central government public authority. The contract involves purchasing six standard furniture packs designated for UK-based staff in Oman under the limited competition procurement method, as it was below the threshold. The key stages of the contract were completed, including the signing of the contract on 16th October 2025, with an active contract period from 1st November to 31st December 2025. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically targeting the furniture industry, with a total contract value of £96,647.50.

This procurement creates growth opportunities for businesses specialising in furniture supply, particularly those that can cater to government contracts and international locations. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with a proven capacity to deliver quality goods within set deadlines and at competitive prices would be well-suited for such contracts. The awarded contract to Diplomatic Mission Supplies, a UK-based SME, exemplifies the potential for similar enterprises to engage effectively with central government procurement processes.
