Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office procured cleaning services for the British Embassy in Vilnius, Lithuania. The work is the routine cleaning of the embassy premises; the procurement also allows the buyer to request ad hoc services. The requirement is a facilities-cleaning service for a diplomatic site, rather than a supply of cleaning products or a construction project. The contract was awarded to UAB BSS Grupe, a Lithuania-based supplier. The published scope identifies cleaning services but does not provide a more detailed breakdown of tasks or premises. The work is delivered in Vilnius.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded and signed. The FCDO used an open procedure. Five bids were received, all from SMEs. UAB BSS Grupe was selected on 14 August 2026. The signed contract is valued at £290,175.40 and runs from 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2028, with two possible consecutive two-year extensions, subject to service quality and the buyer’s satisfaction, giving a maximum duration of six years. Ad hoc services may also be requested. The tender was evaluated on technical quality, weighted at 60%, and commercial cost, weighted at 40%. To qualify, suppliers had to be legally established and authorised to provide cleaning services and hold valid public liability insurance.

This award demonstrates demand from the FCDO for ongoing cleaning at its British Embassy in Vilnius, including the ability to respond to ad hoc service requests. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to be legally established and authorised to deliver cleaning services, and carry valid public liability insurance. The competition attracted five SME bids, showing that the scale was accessible to smaller businesses as well as larger providers. Technical quality carried greater weight than price, so suppliers would need to demonstrate a strong service approach alongside competitive commercial terms. Relevant experience in maintaining secure, professional premises and the capacity to deliver consistent cleaning in Vilnius would support a competitive offer; these capabilities are commercially relevant, though the published requirements do not state them as separate formal criteria.
