UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office bought a new fleet car for the British Embassy in Stockholm. This is a goods procurement for a motor vehicle, intended to support the embassy’s fleet and operations in Stockholm, Sweden. The requirement was handled by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office as the central government buyer. The selected supplier, Kihlströms Bilförsäljning AB, is a Sweden-based vehicle sales business located in Segeltorp. The opportunity therefore relates to suppliers able to provide new fleet vehicles and support delivery or supply arrangements for a UK diplomatic mission in Stockholm. It is a single-vehicle requirement rather than a broader fleet management, maintenance or transport services contract.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Kihlströms Bilförsäljning AB. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026, runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and is valued at £65,864.88 gross. The contract is active. The tender used a limited procedure, with the requirement assessed through a restricted competition between invited suppliers. The award covered the supply of a motor vehicle for the British Embassy Stockholm. The procurement was below the applicable threshold. The award was made to the Swedish supplier named above; no separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded.

For competitors, this procurement shows demand from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for new embassy fleet vehicles in Sweden, at a scale suitable for a specialist vehicle supplier rather than a major fleet outsourcing provider. A credible future supplier would need to source and supply new motor vehicles, understand fleet or diplomatic-mission requirements, and operate effectively in the Stockholm market. The awarded supplier was a large Swedish vehicle sales business, so relevant competitors are likely to be established automotive dealers or vehicle distributors with local delivery capability and the capacity to handle a public-sector purchase. Experience supplying organisations with operational, security or official-use vehicles would strengthen a competitor’s position, although no specific accreditation or technical standard is recorded.
