Summary of the contracting process

FCDO Services is procuring electrical remedial works at 15 residential properties in Harare, Zimbabwe. The work is described as electrical engineering installation works and is intended to address remedial requirements across those homes. The buyer is FCDO Services, the UK government organisation managing the procurement. Delivery is in Harare; the opportunity concerns works at residential properties rather than a general electrical maintenance service. Suppliers should consider whether they can organise and deliver electrical remedial work in Zimbabwe, including at multiple residential sites, before assessing the commercial and technical requirements set out for the competition.

FCDO Services invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement is divided into one lot. The buyer set 6 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC as the submission deadline. The planned contract period runs from 18 January to 28 May 2027. The estimated value is £950,000 excluding VAT (£1,140,000 including VAT). Evaluation gives technical quality a 60% weighting and price 40%, so bids are assessed on both their technical response and cost. Electronic submission is allowed through the buyer’s procurement portal. The tender describes electrical remedial works at 15 residential properties in Harare, Zimbabwe.

This opportunity is suited to electrical contractors with the technical capability to diagnose and carry out remedial electrical works across residential properties. The multi-property scope favours suppliers able to plan work across several sites and coordinate delivery in Harare within the specified contract period. A strong bid needs to address the technical quality of the proposed work, which carries greater evaluation weight than price, while remaining commercially competitive. Suppliers with relevant experience delivering electrical installation or remedial projects in residential settings, and the operational capacity to undertake work in Zimbabwe, are best placed to assess and pursue the requirement.
