Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office procured electrical materials for the British High Commission in Nairobi. Supplies are bought as and when required to meet demand, rather than as a single fixed order. The requirement covers electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment, consumables and lighting. Delivery and use are for the High Commission in Nairobi, Kenya. This is a goods contract serving the needs of a UK diplomatic mission.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SITIMA ENTERPRISES LTD. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with extensions possible to 31 August 2031 if performance is satisfactory. Its maximum value is £50,000 over the full duration. The single-lot competition used a below-threshold limited procedure. The published award information does not set out evaluation criteria or a separate award date.

The award shows demand for responsive supply of electrical materials to a diplomatic facility in Nairobi, with purchases made as operational needs arise. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable access to a broad range of electrical equipment, consumables and lighting, and the ability to fulfil variable orders consistently in Nairobi. Performance matters because extensions depend on satisfactory delivery. The contract is modest in overall scale and was placed through limited competition below the relevant threshold, so suppliers suited to supplying an institutional customer under a capped, demand-led arrangement are the closest match.
