## Summary

The British High Commission (BHC) in Gaborone, Botswana, is currently accepting tenders for a construction project titled "New Approach to Africa." This initiative aims to enhance office space to meet the Africa Uplift requirement, addressing health and safety concerns and compliance with One HMG standards. The tender is classified under construction work (CPV code: 45000000) and is being conducted through a restricted non-OJEU procurement method. Proposals must be submitted by 12:00 GMT on 2nd March 2022, with the contract anticipated to start on 9th May 2022 and conclude by 7th November 2022.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for construction firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in a high-profile project within the public sector. Businesses specialising in office renovations and safety compliance are especially suited for this tender, as the works will not only enhance the British High Commission's operational capabilities but also align with key government standards. Participating companies can leverage this project to demonstrate their expertise in building works and potentially secure further contracts with public and private entities.

## Notice

The British High Commission (BHC) Botswana is located within a freehold building in the centre of Gaborone. An increase in usable space is necessary to meet the Africa Uplift requirement and to provide a degree of future proofing. The works present an opportunity to improve the UK office space, creating a fit-for-purpose environment that is compliant with One HMG standards, resolve space occupation, fire and security issues, and address some long-standing health and safety concerns with the building. Additional information: Recipients are invited to submit a bid, together with any requested supporting information, to the Client by the due date for return (12:00hrs (GMT) 2nd March 2022).
