Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office procured cleaning services for the British Embassy in Vilnius, Lithuania. The requirement covers routine cleaning provision at the embassy and is classified as cleaning services (CPV 90910000). It is a central government service contract delivered at the British Embassy Vilnius. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than a group of separate service areas, with the selected supplier responsible for providing the cleaning service. The buyer is the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whose London headquarters is at King Charles Street. The successful provider, UAB BSS Grupe, is a Lithuanian small and medium-sized enterprise based in Vilnius, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by an established facilities or commercial cleaning business operating in Lithuania.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Five bids reached the final stage, including five from SMEs. UAB BSS Grupe was awarded the contract on 14 August 2026 for £290,175.40. The tender’s estimated value was £205,839.95 excluding VAT, or £250,556.90 including VAT. The initial contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 August 2028, with optional extensions allowing a maximum period to 30 August 2032, subject to satisfactory performance. Evaluation gave 60% to the technical quality submission and 40% to the commercial submission. Suppliers had to be legally established and authorised to provide cleaning services and hold valid public liability insurance. Ad hoc services may also be requested under the award.

This award shows a defined demand for embassy cleaning delivered by a legally established and authorised cleaning provider in Lithuania, with sufficient capacity to support a central government site. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate strong technical delivery, because quality carried greater evaluation weight than price, while still presenting a competitive commercial offer. Valid public liability insurance is an essential baseline requirement. The successful supplier is an SME based in Vilnius, so local operational presence, Lithuanian market knowledge and the ability to recruit and manage cleaning staff locally may be commercially relevant. Businesses should also be able to provide ad hoc cleaning services when requested and show reliable performance over a sustained service arrangement. Facilities management firms and established commercial cleaning specialists with public-sector or secure-site experience would be well placed.
