UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office procured an audiovisual meeting-room system upgrade and integration for the British Embassies in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The requirement covers supplying, installing, commissioning and maintaining IT and audiovisual meeting-room solutions, including associated services for audiovisual equipment. Delivery is in the United Arab Emirates, specifically at the British Embassy Abu Dhabi and British Embassy Dubai. This is a services requirement for a supplier able to manage both the technical installation and ongoing support of meeting-room audiovisual systems across the two embassy locations. The buying organisation is a UK central government department, so suppliers should be able to work in a diplomatic and international operational environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, Genuine IT Systems LLC, was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and is active from 10 August 2026 to 21 August 2027. It is valued at £34,908.70 including gross value. The contract includes an option to extend annual audiovisual-system maintenance year by year for up to two additional years, with a maximum end date of 21 August 2029. The award covers services for the United Arab Emirates delivery locations. Genuine IT Systems LLC is the recorded supplier for the completed procurement.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for integrated meeting-room audiovisual systems across embassy sites in the United Arab Emirates. A competitor seeking similar work would need practical capability across the full service lifecycle: supplying suitable IT and audiovisual equipment, installing and integrating systems, commissioning them for operational use, and providing continuing maintenance. The requirement also indicates that a credible supplier should be able to support more than one overseas location and maintain consistent service across both sites. The successful supplier profile shows that established commercial IT systems providers can serve this type of diplomatic estate requirement.
