UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is procuring swimming-pool maintenance services for the British High Commission in Nairobi, Kenya. The requirement covers repair and maintenance activity, including daily, weekly, monthly and annual checks and maintenance. The service provider will be responsible for carrying out the range of inspections and maintenance tasks required to keep the High Commission’s swimming pools operational and properly maintained. This is a single service requirement delivered in Nairobi and is categorised as repair and maintenance services. It is suitable for businesses that provide planned swimming-pool servicing, facilities maintenance or related technical maintenance services, particularly those able to operate in Kenya and support an overseas diplomatic site.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. Initial tenders must demonstrate compliance with the requirements, affordability and appropriate risk management; the process may include post-tender clarification and negotiation with the highest-scoring tenderer. Enquiries were due by 14 August 2026 at 14:00, and tenders by 21 August 2026 at 14:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with two possible one-year renewals subject to performance, giving a maximum end date of 31 October 2031. The estimated value is £180,000 gross for the single lot. Award is due by 13 October 2026. Evaluation is weighted 60% technical, including social value, and 40% commercial. Electronic tender submission in English is permitted.

This opportunity suits an SME or specialist facilities-maintenance contractor with practical experience of swimming-pool servicing and the capacity to provide routine maintenance throughout the contract. Suppliers should be able to plan and deliver daily, weekly, monthly and annual checks consistently, manage issues identified during inspections, and support a high-profile diplomatic premises in Nairobi. The qualification requirements include acceptance of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s terms and conditions, satisfactory financial health, and declarations covering non-canvassing and collusion. Bidders must provide the required tender letter and declaration, together with statutory business documentation, including a PIN certificate, valid tax compliance certificate, certificate of incorporation, business permit and WIBA insurance evidence. Technical quality and social value will be more important than price alone.
