Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has completed the tender process for providing routine cleaning services at the British Consulate General in Milan, Italy. The procurement, which falls under the services industry category, was carried out through a limited competition method due to its below-threshold value. The process reached the award stage, with the contract successfully signed on 27th April 2026. The contract, valued at £92,607.13 (excluding VAT), was awarded to Stereo SRL, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Milan. The contract will commence on 1st May 2026 and is set to run until 30th April 2028, with the option for extension contingent on performance.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in cleaning services to expand their operations internationally. Given its location in Milan and the nature of the services required, businesses with experience in providing efficient, reliable cleaning solutions in diplomatic or government settings are particularly well-suited to such opportunities. Additionally, the possibility of contract extensions and ad-hoc service requests offers growth potential for firms able to deliver consistent, high-quality service. This could be especially appealing for SMEs looking to establish or solidify their presence in the European market.
