UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is currently in the tender stage for the provision of Security Guarding Services at the British Embassy in Brussels. This procurement is classified under the services category, specifically guard services (CPV: 79713000), and is located in Belgium (region BE10). The FCDO is conducting a Competitive Flexible Procedure, a two-stage process where potential suppliers first go through the Conditions of Participation, followed by an Invitation to Tender for shortlisted candidates. Interested parties must note the expression of interest deadline of 20th July 2026, while the contract award is expected by 11th September 2026. The contract, valued at €4,177,440 gross, will commence on 1st November 2026 and may include up to two 12-month extensions.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for security firms specialising in high-profile diplomatic services, especially those with experience in international or embassy settings. The procurement process is selective, demanding a high level of technical ability, which will be heavily weighted at 70% in the evaluation criteria. The remaining 30% will focus on the commercial proposal, making cost-efficiency equally important. Businesses capable of delivering robust, reliable guarding services tailored to an embassy environment should consider participating, as this contract offers not only substantial value but also the potential for long-term engagement with a central government department in the UK.
