UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), a central government public authority based in London, has completed a procurement exercise to appoint Knight Frank LLP for real estate surveying services in the Middle East and North Africa. The contract commenced on 19th October 2025 and is set to continue until 18th February 2026, with the option for a three-month extension. This procurement falls under the industry category of services, specifically property management services, and utilised a direct procurement method below threshold without competition. The process, currently in the 'award' stage, highlights the provision of comprehensive real estate management to support FCDO's vast global estate network.

This tender presents opportunities for growth, particularly for large organisations offering property management and consultancy services. As it involves diverse services such as acquisition and disposal of properties, rent reviews, legal advisory, and strategic consultancy on estate management, businesses well-versed in these areas with the capacity to handle international projects would find this beneficial. Although the procurement method was direct due to its below-threshold nature, the significant scope and geographical reach indicate potential for future engagements with the FCDO. Companies with expertise in providing strategic, legal, and valuation advisory services in an international context, particularly within the Middle East and North Africa, would have a competitive edge.
