The procurement stage is currently in the "selective" phase, with a tender period ending on January 3, 2024. The contract is set to start on April 1, 2024, and run until March 31, 2027. The total contract value is £18,500,000 GBP. Potential bidders must be UK or Gibraltar established suppliers due to national security reasons. This opportunity to provide armed security services presents a strategic growth opportunity for UK-based security companies with expertise in armed mobile security and residential security.

The requirement to be UK or Gibraltar established limits competition but provides a niche market for eligible providers looking to collaborate with the FCDO and enhance their portfolio within the security services sector. ## Notice The retender of the FCDO Provision of Armed Mobile Security and Residential Security Team contract with the winning bidder ready to commence the new contract in April 2024 for 3+1+1 years (the current contract will expire in March 2024).
