UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, based in London, sought the procurement of security uniforms for the British Embassy in Beirut. The tender process was initiated with the legal basis set under UK legislation 2023/54, focusing on goods within the security equipment category. The procurement utilised a limited method, categorised below the threshold with limited competition. The contract, valued at £50,000, was awarded to UK Tactical, with the contract period running from 15th January 2026 to 14th January 2029, having been signed on 7th January 2026. The procurement process has now reached the award stage, marked complete as of 20th April 2026.

This tender presents business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers specialising in security equipment and uniforms, as it involves a government contract in a sensitive international setting. Companies with expertise in providing security uniforms, particularly those who can deliver quality within a limited competitive environment, are well-suited to engage in such contracts. The buyer being a central government authority ensures stability and reliability, which may lead to repeat opportunities for firms that can maintain high standards and meet contract requirements efficiently.
