UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has completed a procurement process for catering services specifically arranged for the British Embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan. The contract, identified under ID 061994-2026, was awarded on 15 June 2026 and spans until 30 June 2026, reflecting a brief service period. This procurement, governed by limited competition below the threshold, primarily focuses on the services industry, specifically catering. The legal basis for the tender is rooted in the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation, and the process culminated in an active contract worth £21,104.55, acknowledging £25,737.25 in total gross value.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in catering services and those aiming to forge international partnerships, as evidenced by the selection of the Hyatt Regency Baku as the supplier. Companies with capabilities in providing high-quality event catering, particularly in foreign embassy environments, are well-positioned to exploit similar opportunities. SMEs with experience in international events or diplomacy-related hospitality have a strategic advantage in such tenders, enabling them to expand their portfolio and gain prestige within the services sector.
