UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in the United Kingdom recently concluded a selective procurement process for the "Serious Crime Investigation - Turks and Caicos Islands" initiative. This contract addresses the escalating issue of serious and organised crime in the Turks and Caicos Islands and involves recruiting a specialised crime investigation team. Tagged under the services category, the tender's award stage was completed on 9th February 2026, with the contract period starting on 20th February 2026. Located primarily in London, this procurement falls under central government operations and was executed under a framework agreement, with an expected initial duration of 12 months, leading to potential renewals through 2029.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialised in police and security services, particularly those with expertise in handling complex crime-related investigations. Companies capable of providing investigative services and surge support would find this contract beneficial, especially with available funding allocation up to £1,200,000 annually. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Red Snapper Managed Services Ltd, which was awarded the contract, and others with a focus on government security services in both domestic and overseas settings, are likely to thrive in such engagements, due to their scalability and adaptability to the project's requirements.
