Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has recently completed a procurement process under the title "Purchase of bulk furniture and fittings BHC Kigali." The procurement aimed to acquire office and residential furniture, fittings, and domestic appliances. The process, classified under the "Furniture" industry category, involved limited competition below the threshold, focusing on suppliers in both the United Kingdom and Rwanda. The procurement stage has reached completion, with key contracts awarded in December 2025, and the anticipated delivery scheduled by the end of March 2026. This procurement spans regions including the UK and Rwanda, with a total value of approximately £28,957 and RWF 55,701,900. The contracts are subject to renewal provisions to address any delivery of faulty goods within a stipulated timeframe.

This tender presents notable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the furniture and domestic appliances sectors. Businesses like Wisemark International Ltd in Rwanda and Diplomatic Missions Supplies in the UK have been successful in securing contracts, indicative of the potential for SMEs to engage in global supply chains through similar opportunities. Companies with capabilities in providing high-quality furniture and domestic appliances stand to benefit significantly, especially if they can cater to specific delivery timelines and quality requirements. Additionally, firms that can navigate the logistics between the UK and Rwanda or offer strategic solutions to government tenders will likely find these opportunities conducive to business growth.
