## Summary

The procurement process titled "RFQ White Goods Purchase - for the British Embassy in Bogotá, Colombia" was initiated by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office based in London, England. The goal was to acquire white goods, including fridges, washers, and dryers, to replace outdated appliances and reduce maintenance costs. The tender period ended on 7th March 2022, and the contract was awarded on 15th March 2022, covering a total value of £30,350. The contract period spanned from 16th March to 18th March 2022. This process was classified under the goods category, specifically focusing on refrigerators and washer/dryers.

This opportunity presents significant avenues for growth for businesses specialising in household appliances, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies capable of providing efficient and cost-effective solutions are well-positioned to compete, especially if they can demonstrate the ability to manage delivery across various regions, including the British Overseas Territories and the UK. Collaboration with local suppliers in Colombia could also strengthen proposals and enhance competitiveness in future tenders.

## Notice

The British Embassy in Bogota, Colombia was seeking to appoint a supplier that could provide White Goods in order to continue to maintain the best quality of goods in the residences and to reduce the cost of corrective maintenance that the outdated machines are generating. The current state of the majority of the white goods of the British Embassy in Bogota are hitting the end of their 10 year+ life cycle, which has resulted in frequent malfunctions and escalating costs for repair. As well as increasing workloads for the estates team and challenges for UK staff in Colombia affected by their machines breaking. The machines that could reduce maintenance costs the most have been identified by Post with a total of 9 fridges, 15 washers and 12 dryers. Details on the project and documentation can be obtained by emailing ame.procurement2@fcdo.gov.uk.
