UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has completed a procurement process for the supply of a fleet car for the British Embassy in Stockholm. This procurement falls under the category of goods, specifically motor vehicles (CPV code: 34100000). Located in London, UK, the purchasing authority proceeded with a limited competition method, falling below the threshold for broader tender processes. The contract was awarded to Kihlströms Bilförsäljning AB, a large supplier based in Sweden, and carries a gross value of £65,864.88. The contract period began on 1st July 2026 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2027, with the contract details published on 20th July 2026.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses within the automotive industry, particularly those specialising in supplying or manufacturing motor vehicles, to explore growth avenues by aligning with governmental needs for vehicle procurement. Companies with existing capabilities in providing automotive solutions to international governmental bodies, or those looking to expand their presence in the public sector, would find this contract particularly fitting. The procurement, run as a limited competition due to its below-threshold nature, necessitates that prospective business partners have the adaptability to manage smaller scale operations that are nonetheless crucial to official functions abroad.
