UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office in London has completed a procurement process for the purchase of wooden pergolas to be used at the British Embassy in Athens. Classified under the industry category of structures and parts of structures, this tender falls under the 'goods' procurement category and was conducted with limited competition due to its below-threshold status. The entire process, initiated as a tender with the ocid 'ocds-h6vhtk-06845a', is now in the award stage, with the contract signed on 17 March 2026. Business entities focusing to expand in Athens, particularly those dealing with structural goods, might find the outcomes of this procurement process pertinent.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses dealing in construction and architectural components, particularly SMEs that specialise in bespoke wooden structures. The winning supplier, Bronze Age, is an SME based in Greece, illustrating that enterprises with regional expertise and capacity to deliver quality craftsmanship can successfully compete for such contracts. As the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office focuses on diplomatic locations, businesses with experience in supplying to government offices or foreign diplomatic missions would be well-suited to pursue similar tenders, potentially fostering international business growth and cross-border operations. Such opportunities not only contribute to direct business expansion but also enhance the reputation and standing of companies within the international procurement landscape.
