UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, located in London, has completed the procurement process for "Security Guarding Services Chisinau," aimed at providing security services for the British Embassy in Chisinau, Moldova. This falls under the services category, specifically within the security services industry. The buyer opted for a direct procurement method below the threshold and without competition, resulting in an award to Direcţia Regională Centru a IGC, a supplier based in Chisinau. The procurement process, marked as complete, transitioned into the award stage on the 23rd of December 2025, and the associated contract, with a value of £113,750, was signed on the 4th of December 2025. The contract period extends from early December 2025 until the end of March 2029.

This procurement provides an excellent opportunity for businesses within the security services sector to align with governmental contracts, particularly those experienced in embassy security operations. Large-scale companies specialising in security and capable of delivering comprehensive guarding services would find such contracts fitting for portfolio growth and geographic expansion. Although this specific contract was awarded through a non-competitive method, it underscores potential opportunities for businesses able to deliver precise and critical services to government entities abroad, thereby enhancing operational presence and capabilities in international markets.
