The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is overseeing a contracting process for fire safety and maintenance services at the British Embassy in Dubai. The procurement focuses on maintaining fire safety systems, including fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and overhead sprinklers. This procurement falls under the services category and utilises a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold value. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract completed and the execution period running from 15th January 2026 to 14th January 2027, with potential extensions up to January 2029. The contract was awarded to Spectrum International LLC, a large supplier based in Dubai, for a gross amount of £16,272.9.

This tender presents a beneficial opportunity for companies in the fire safety service sector, particularly those specialising in maintenance and servicing of fire prevention systems. Businesses equipped with expertise in installing and maintaining fire-detection systems, extinguishers, and alarm systems would find this venture advantageous, especially those with operations within or near the United Arab Emirates. Companies seeking to establish or expand their international footprint could leverage their services on this project, providing maintenance to a significant government facility, and enhancing their portfolio with a contract from a renowned governmental body such as the FCDO.
