## Summary

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office, based in London, has recently completed the procurement process for the provision of security services for the British High Commission in Port Moresby. This contract, classified under the security services industry, was awarded to Black Swan International and has a total value of approximately £1,427,649.29. The contract period runs from December 1, 2018, to November 30, 2021. The procurement method involved an open procedure, with the tender documents published prior to the deadline of October 17, 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specializing in security services or related sectors. Companies that can provide skilled security personnel and equipment, particularly those familiar with the operational needs of diplomatic missions, would be well-placed to compete in this space. The focus on integrating security personnel into the mission's daily life indicates a preference for suppliers capable of offering not just services, but also fostering relationships that enhance the security environment at the Commission.

## Notice

The British High Commission (BHC) in Port Moresby requires provision of security guard services and security equipment to protect BHC personnel, facilities and equipment from damage or loss throughout the year. The Contractor is also expected to carry out other security-related tasks, as specified by the Regional Security Manager (ROSM) or Post Security Manager (PSM) at the mission, who will supervise the guards on a day-to-day basis. Every effort should be made to integrate the guards as much as possible into the life of the post. Additional information: All Tender documentation will be published, and all substantive communication between the Authority and bidders will be conducted via the FCO's eProcurement Portal BRAVOSolution.
