Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office procured garden reinstatement and landscaping works at the British Embassy Abu Dhabi compound in the United Arab Emirates. The requirement covers reinstating and enhancing garden areas, including landscaping work for gardens and landscape gardening services. It is a works contract for a government diplomatic site, rather than a general grounds-maintenance requirement across multiple locations. Businesses relevant to this procurement would be landscape contractors, garden installation specialists and facilities-services providers able to carry out physical garden reinstatement and enhancement works at the embassy compound in Abu Dhabi. The buying organisation is the UK central government department responsible for the site and its procurement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. EFS Facilities Services was selected as the supplier, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026, runs from 16 September 2026 to 15 October 2026, and is worth £47,347.53 gross. The requirement was treated as one works package covering the embassy garden reinstatement and landscaping scope. This outcome records a short, defined delivery period for work at a diplomatic compound, with the award made through a limited rather than open competition. The contract is below the applicable threshold.

This award is useful market evidence for landscape contractors and facilities-services businesses targeting Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office sites. The buyer required a supplier able to reinstate and enhance existing garden areas within the British Embassy Abu Dhabi compound, combining practical landscaping works with garden-focused delivery at an overseas government location. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable experience in garden reinstatement, landscape construction or installation, planting and related horticultural works, together with the management capacity to deliver a defined works package in Abu Dhabi. The selected supplier is a large organisation, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with substantial organisational capacity for this type of overseas site work.
