UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office procured works to install composite-wood privacy screens around the accommodation blocks at the British Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq. The screens are intended to replace the existing HESCO barriers and provide privacy around the embassy accommodation. This is a construction and installation requirement, rather than the supply of standalone fencing materials. The work is delivered at the British Embassy site in Baghdad. The buyer is a central government department, so relevant experience may include working on government, diplomatic, secure or operational sites, as well as delivering external barrier, fencing, screening or associated construction works in challenging environments. The requirement covered one package of work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, THUNDERBIRD GROUP LIMITED, was awarded the work. The contract was signed on 17 June 2026, runs from 1 July 2026 to 15 August 2026, and has a value of £45,868.12 including taxes. The requirement was treated as construction work and was organised as one lot. Evaluation followed the limited-competition procedure; the available data does not set out separate quality, technical or price weightings. The award is active and the contract is active, so the procurement has moved beyond supplier selection into delivery. The successful supplier is based in Baghdad.

For a supplier assessing future demand from this buyer, this procurement demonstrates a requirement for relatively small-scale but operationally sensitive construction and installation work at a British diplomatic site in Baghdad. A credible competitor would need to install composite-wood privacy screening or comparable external structures, remove or replace existing protective barriers where required, and coordinate work safely around occupied accommodation. Local delivery capability in Iraq, reliable access to labour and materials, and the ability to work to embassy security and site-control requirements would strengthen a future offer. Experience completing similar works for government, diplomatic, security or other controlled environments would help demonstrate that the supplier can manage access, logistics, safety and quality without disrupting site operations.
