## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office has completed the procurement process for the provision of sea freight clearance services at the British High Commission in Lagos, Nigeria. The procurement process, which followed an open procedure below the threshold, sought services for customs clearance and delivery of containerised consignments and non-containerised unpacked motor vehicles from Lagos ports to various destinations including Lagos, Abuja, and other project locations in Nigeria. The contract, worth approximately £238,917.72, was awarded on 6 May 2024 to Continental Cargo Logistics Agency Limited. The contract period runs from 1 June 2024 to 30 May 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in freight and logistics services, particularly those with experience in customs clearance and cargo delivery within Nigeria. The large-scale nature of the operations and the strategic importance of the British High Commission as a client make this an attractive contract for established logistics firms aiming to expand their footprint in the African market. While the procurement was open, it was not targeted specifically at SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting that larger, established logistics companies were better suited to compete.
