## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has completed a public procurement process to secure security guarding services for the British High Commission in Mbabane. The contract, valued at GBP 39,914, falls under the Security services category (CPV code 79710000) and was awarded through an open procedure. The contract period runs from 1st July 2024 to 30th June 2027. Key stakeholders include the FCDO as the buying organisation, with Fulufhelo Ratshionya serving as the contact point. The award date was 28th June 2024, and the contract was officially published on 19th September 2024.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses specialising in security services to grow by partnering with a major governmental body. Although the awarded supplier is not explicitly named, the open procedure implies that competitive bidding was encouraged, creating potential for a variety of security firms, including large-scale providers, to participate. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were deemed unsuitable for this particular procurement, likely due to the scale and specific demands of the contract.
