UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office intends to appoint contractors to supply bulk and non-bulk fuel, including diesel, for the British Embassy in Beirut. Fuel will serve the Embassy residence and accommodation, its transport fleet, and generators, with supplies required as needs arise. Deliveries are in Lebanon. This is a goods procurement for fuel supply rather than a works or service contract. The stated purpose is to support the Embassy’s residential, transport and power-generation requirements. Suppliers should therefore assess whether they can provide both bulk and non-bulk fuel to these different uses in Beirut.

The process is at planning: the buyer has expressed an intention to procure but has not issued an invitation to tender. Early market engagement is planned, including a virtual supplier session on 6 November 2026; attendance confirmation was requested by 4 November, and questionnaire submissions by 10 November. The buyer expected a further notice on 26 November 2026. The estimated value is £656,176 including tax. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an extension possible through 31 March 2031. The procurement is one lot. No procedure, procurement method or evaluation criteria are stated at this stage.

This is most relevant to fuel suppliers able to provide both bulk and non-bulk diesel and fuel, and to meet demand for several types of Embassy use. Suppliers with the operational capacity to serve a residence, accommodation, a vehicle fleet and generators in Beirut are likely to be better placed to prepare for the later competition. The planned early market engagement offers a route for suppliers to share relevant market knowledge before the buyer develops its procurement. The stated requirements do not identify particular accreditations, technical standards, experience thresholds or other participation conditions, so suppliers should not assume these are established.
