## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office concluded the procurement process for the provision of taxi services and car hire at the British High Commission in Kigali. This contract falls under the "Transport services (excl. Waste transport)" category and was managed via an open procedure below threshold, ensuring competitive bidding. The procurement initially moved through an open tender with a deadline on 14 February 2025. The awarded contract commenced on 1 June 2025 and is set to run until 31 May 2027, with Kingfisher Tours Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Kigali, Rwanda, selected as the service provider. The procurement stage is in the award phase, with the official award announced on 28 May 2025 and published on 11 July 2025, valued at £27,000.

This tender presents a substantial business opportunity for companies in the transport services sector, particularly those with experience in international and diplomatic missions. Firms that can provide seamless, reliable, and secure transport services while accommodating the specific requirements of a high commission will find such contracts lucrative. While small and medium-sized enterprises may face challenges competing under this specific tender due to the 'non-SME' suitability criteria, larger entities or those with a robust service infrastructure in Rwanda are well-positioned to leverage the ongoing opportunities this contract presents.
