Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) based in London, UK, commissioning the provision of Royal Mint coins for the British Embassy in Washington. This tender falls under the category of goods, specifically coins and medals, and is part of a direct procurement method conducted below threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 8th January 2026, with the project period spanning from 12th January 2026 to 31st March 2026. The tender's legal framework is governed by the UKPGA under the 2023/54 legislation.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the goods sector, particularly those specialising in the design and production of commemorative coins, to engage with high-profile international projects. Although this contract was awarded to the Royal Mint, similar future opportunities can benefit large-scale suppliers capable of handling specialised production demands. Businesses with a strong track record in producing custom-made ceremonial items may find opportunities for growth by aligning with governmental and diplomatic projects that do not require open competition, allowing for direct engagements.
