UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office commissioned refurbishment works for Villa 2 within the British Embassy Dubai compound. The requirement is classified as refurbishment of run-down buildings and concerns one package of works. The delivery location is Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The work is a building refurbishment project rather than a supply-only or routine service contract. The buyer is the UK central government department responsible for foreign, Commonwealth and development affairs. The named successful supplier, Time Hours Facility Managment Services - Sole Proprietorship LLC, is based in Mohamed Bin Zayed, United Arab Emirates, and is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. Businesses operating in building refurbishment or related facilities management should regard this as a requirement for site-based works in an embassy compound.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition. Time Hours Facility Managment Services - Sole Proprietorship LLC was awarded the contract for the refurbishment works. The contract was signed on 23 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £33,877.40 including tax. The contract is active and the award is active. The process was divided into one package, covering the Villa 2 refurbishment at the British Embassy Dubai compound. The procurement was for works, and the recorded classification is refurbishment of run-down buildings. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and contract terms but does not set out a separate award date or detailed scoring basis.

This procurement is useful market evidence for small and medium-sized refurbishment or facilities management businesses serving diplomatic or other secure government sites in the United Arab Emirates. The buyer used a limited competition for a relatively contained building refurbishment requirement and selected an SME based in the UAE. A credible future competitor would therefore need to deliver refurbishment works directly, operate effectively in Dubai, and manage work within an embassy compound. Relevant businesses should assess their ability to provide comparable building refurbishment capacity and facilities management support, while recognising that this procurement concerned a single villa rather than a large multi-site programme. The requirement also shows that the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office buys site-specific refurbishment works through below-threshold competitions.
