The tender process, which is currently active, has a designated end date of 9 January 2017 for submissions. This procurement falls under the services category and utilises an open procedure for tendering, with the expected contract period commencing from 3 April 2017 and concluding on 2 April 2020. This contract presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in road transport services. Companies that can provide reliable and efficient transport solutions, particularly within the Paris region, are encouraged to participate. The breadth of services required may benefit larger transport firms or those with experience in handling high-profile events, fostering potential growth and collaboration with a diplomatic entity. ## Notice The British Embassy Paris regularly has visits from delegations for large (COP21) and smaller events that require hired transport. In 2016, there has been both Euro2016 and Somme 100th. For each event we were required to go through a tender process due to the costs involved which is very labour intensive both for ourselves and the companies that tender. We have now decided, therefore, to tender for a 3-4 year contract for all hired transport in France to reduce our man hours while ensuring value for money. It is anticipated that most of the work will be in the Paris area with some larger events elsewhere in France. Additional information: All Tender documentation has been published, and all substantive communication between the Authority and bidders will be conducted via the FCO's eProcurement portal BravoSolution.
