## Summary

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is seeking proposals for the provision of Security Guarding Services for its operations in the United Arab Emirates. The procurement is currently in the award stage, with a total contract value of £535,227.07. The tender was published on 23 April 2018, and the contract period is set to commence on 1 April 2019, lasting until 31 March 2022. Bidders had to submit their responses via the FCO's eProcurement Portal, BRAVOSolution, by the previous deadline of 21 May 2018.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the security services industry to engage with a governmental body, enhancing their portfolio and gaining valuable experience in international settings. Firms that specialise in security services, particularly those with experience in high-stakes environments and the capability to provide comprehensive guarding services, would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) should consider participating, as they can benefit from the government's initiative to support diverse suppliers in public procurement.
