Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has completed the procurement process for the full inspection and testing of fire alarm systems at the British Embassy in Baghdad, under the tender ID CPG/13065/2025. The contract, valued at £41,260.55, was awarded on 1st July 2026, following a limited procurement method due to it being below the competition threshold. The procurement process, categorised under services, covers fire-detection and alarm systems within the embassy premises in Iraq. The contract period extends from 1st July to 25th August 2026, fulfilling the requirements set out in legal basis 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fire and safety systems, especially those capable of operating in international locations like Iraq. Firms that supply, install, and service fire detection and alarm systems, or provide consultancy in fire and explosion protection, would find this contract advantageous. Large companies similar to Impulse Engineering Ltd, which successfully secured this award, are well-suited to participate in such tenders, given their expertise and resources in handling complex fire-prevention installations within sensitive locations like embassies. Engaging in this type of government procurement process can aid companies in expanding their market reach and international operational experience.
