UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office procured a CCTV system and equipment upgrade for the British Embassy in Brasilia. The requirement covered the supply and installation of CCTV equipment, specifically cameras and network video recorders (NVRs), for embassy security and surveillance operations. The work falls within surveillance and security systems and devices, and delivery was in Brazil. This is a goods-led requirement involving both equipment provision and installation services. It would be relevant to security technology suppliers, CCTV integrators and contractors able to provide and install surveillance systems for diplomatic or other secure government premises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition, described as an open request for quotation. Avtel (UK) Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and is active from 17 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £67,065.81 gross. The award covered the CCTV equipment and installation requirement for Brazil. The published evaluation outcome identifies the selected supplier and an active award; the procurement record does not set out separate quality, technical or price weightings. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is the buying organisation.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for CCTV cameras and network video recorders at a British diplomatic premises, with delivery and installation in Brazil. Competitors seeking similar work with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office would need credible capability in surveillance and security systems, including sourcing suitable cameras and NVRs, designing or upgrading an integrated CCTV installation, and delivering the equipment to an overseas government site. Practical experience of installing, configuring and commissioning systems in secure or operationally sensitive premises would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement also indicates that a substantial security technology provider or integrator can undertake the work, rather than an equipment-only reseller.
