UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is buying hired driver services for the British Embassy in Brussels. The work is transport services to support the embassy’s travel and operational requirements, delivered in Brussels. Suppliers should be able to provide drivers and manage a reliable hired-driver service for a diplomatic mission. The requirement is a single service package rather than a set of separately described lots.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The submission deadline was 25 October 2026 at 23:59, and the planned award decision date was 9 December 2026 at 23:59:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with a possible further extension of 36 months subject to satisfactory performance; the maximum stated end date is 31 March 2032. The estimated value is £1,570,247.93 excluding VAT and £1,900,000 including VAT. Evaluation gives technical quality 70% and commercial price 30%. Bids may be submitted electronically in English.

This opportunity is suited to transport operators able to supply hired drivers and organise service delivery for the British Embassy in Brussels. Competing suppliers should be capable of meeting the embassy’s operational transport needs consistently and supporting a service that may continue beyond its initial term if performance is satisfactory. The work is assessed primarily on technical quality, so a strong offer will need to demonstrate how the service will be delivered, rather than relying on price alone. The contract is substantial and extends over multiple years, favouring providers with the operational capacity to sustain driver availability and service standards throughout the term. The procurement does not state particular accreditations or minimum experience requirements in the published details.
