Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract was initiated by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) for the acquisition of an EX Sportage Hybrid vehicle to be used by the FCDO Estates Team at the British Embassy in Washington. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically motor vehicles, and has been conducted through a limited competition process, below the threshold. The contract status is now complete, with the award made to Ourisman - KIA of BETHESDA. Key dates include a contract signing on 5th January 2026, with the contract period starting from 14th January 2026 and ending on 19th June 2026. The process adheres to procurement legal basis under UK legislation 2023/54, and the procurement method applied was limited, aimed to meet specific requirements due to its below-threshold nature.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of motor vehicles, particularly those that can offer hybrid solutions, to engage with central governmental bodies such as the FCDO. The contract valued at £27,364.63 offers substantial growth potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their market presence in the governmental procurement sector. Companies with an existing footprint in offering specialised fleet solutions for diplomatic or governmental operations would find this type of procurement particularly aligned with their services.
