UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has completed a procurement process for swimming pool maintenance services at the British Embassy in Dubai & Abu Dhabi. The contract, awarded to EFS Facilities Services Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Dubai, commenced on 1 September 2025 and is set to conclude on 30 November 2027, with an optional extension of four months. This procurement falls under the category of repair and maintenance services. Utilising a limited competition method below the prescribed threshold, the contract was awarded with a gross value of £51,575.02. The tender process was initiated considering the legal basis outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in swimming pool maintenance and related recreational-area services. With the contract awarded to a large-scale provider, it demonstrates the potential for businesses with similar capabilities to engage in future contracts within government sectors. The specific focus on maintenance services at high-profile locations such as embassies indicates a niche market where quality and reliability are paramount, offering growth potential for established service providers looking to expand their portfolio in international settings.
