UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office bought a seven-seater fleet vehicle for the British Embassy in Muscat. This is a goods procurement for a motor vehicle, classified under CPV 34100000. Delivery is in Oman, for embassy operations in Muscat. The requirement is focused on supplying a complete vehicle rather than vehicle-related services, construction or fleet management. The buyer is a UK central government department, and the operational user is a British diplomatic mission. Businesses relevant to this requirement are vehicle manufacturers, authorised dealers, automotive distributors and fleet suppliers able to provide seven-seater vehicles for government or diplomatic use in Oman. The selected supplier is an Oman-based automotive company, indicating that local supply and delivery capability are relevant to this type of requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Reliable International Automotive LLC. The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and runs from 25 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £26,353.73 gross. The procurement used a limited procedure, meaning a restricted group of suppliers competed rather than an open market exercise. The award covered the single seven-seater vehicle requirement for delivery in Oman. The recorded outcome is an active contract, with the supplier selected for the complete requirement. The evaluation basis recorded for the procurement is the limited competition route; no separate quality, price weighting or other scoring criteria are provided in the published award information.

This completed purchase is a useful indicator of demand from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for embassy fleet vehicles in Oman. Businesses best placed for a future requirement of this type would be established vehicle manufacturers, authorised automotive dealers, distributors or fleet suppliers with access to suitable seven-seater vehicles and the capacity to arrange delivery in Oman. A credible competitor would need to support a straightforward vehicle supply contract for a diplomatic operating environment, understand public-sector purchasing and be able to engage through a limited competition rather than relying only on open-market tenders. Local presence, established automotive distribution and the ability to serve Muscat would be commercially relevant strengths, as demonstrated by the selected Oman-based supplier.
