UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is seeking maintenance services for the British High Commission Kigali’s diplomatic estate in Kigali, Rwanda. The requirement covers preventative, corrective and emergency maintenance for generators, hydraulic road blockers and bollards, electrical stabilisers, and solar heaters, including replacement parts where required. The service is intended to maintain power continuity, security infrastructure, health and safety compliance, operational resilience and business continuity. This is a repair and maintenance services opportunity (CPV 50000000) for a provider able to support a mixed portfolio of electrical, mechanical, security and renewable-energy equipment in a diplomatic environment. The work combines planned servicing with fault response and urgent callouts, rather than a one-off repair or equipment supply contract.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions could be submitted until 27 August 2026 at 16:00, and offers were due by 17 September 2026 at 14:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with an option to extend to 30 November 2030 subject to satisfactory performance. The estimated value is RWF 98,002,345.77 gross. The Most Advantageous Tender will be selected using technical criteria weighted at 60% and commercial criteria at 40%. Bidders must score at least 2 out of 4 for every technical criterion and at least 30 out of 60 overall technically before commercial evaluation. The lowest compliant price receives the highest commercial score, with other prices scored proportionately.

This opportunity suits an established facilities or specialist maintenance contractor with the technical breadth to maintain standby power, electrical stability, hydraulic security barriers and solar heating systems. Suppliers should be able to deliver planned preventative maintenance, diagnose and rectify faults, provide replacement parts and respond rapidly to emergency callouts across a diplomatic estate. The requirement favours businesses with strong service-management processes, reliable engineering resources and the capacity to sustain continuity of service over a multi-year engagement. Experience maintaining safety-critical, security-related or operationally essential assets would be relevant, as would evidence of competent technical delivery and effective performance improvement. Providers able to combine dependable routine maintenance with responsive emergency support and sustainable maintenance practices are well placed to compete.
