UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) in London has recently completed a procurement process for catering services at the British Embassy in Ankara. This procurement, classified under services and specifically catering services, was carried out through a limited method, indicating a below-threshold competition. The contract was signed on 3rd June 2026, with the service period set for the 11th of June, 2026. The awarded contract is valued at £35,520 (net) and was officially published on 1st July 2026. The process has transitioned from the tender to the award stage and is currently active, with the contract having been awarded to InterContinental Grand Ankara, a supplier based in Turkey.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the catering industry, particularly those based in or capable of operating in Ankara. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in event catering and capacity to meet the requirements of embassies or government entities could find lucrative growth opportunities through similar tenders. Businesses that can offer competitively priced services in a limited competition context would be well-suited to pursue such contracts in future procurement opportunities.
