## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office procured specialist design peer review services for a British High Commission residence project. The tender title identifies the project as the FCDO Port Louis New High Commission Residence Project and describes the requirement as RIBA Stage 4 design peer review. The tender description instead refers to an RIBA Stage 2 review for the British High Commission project in Kingston, Jamaica, so suppliers assessing fit should verify the project location and design stage in the underlying requirements. The service falls within feasibility studies, advisory services and analysis, and is categorised as a professional service. The buyer is the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, based in London. The stated delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom and overseas locations.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold competitive quotation exercise, with eight suppliers invited to quote. Quotations were assessed on a like-for-like basis against the project requirements, including programme compliance and the fee proposal; the lowest compliant quotation was selected. The quotation deadline was 3 June 2025 at 5pm. Ridge and Partners LLP received the award on 17 August 2026 for £19,167.50. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 October 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The recorded award names Ridge and Partners LLP as the successful supplier, while the tender description names Tetra Tech Limited, so the award record should be treated as the outcome.

For competitors, this award demonstrates FCDO demand for concise, specialist design assurance on overseas diplomatic residential projects, procured through a competitive quotation route rather than a full open tender. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need experience reviewing building design at the relevant RIBA stage, understanding the technical and operational requirements of a High Commission residence, and translating findings into clear advice for the client and project team. It would also need to demonstrate that its proposed review can meet the project programme, provide a compliant and like-for-like response, and offer a competitive, transparent fee. Firms with multidisciplinary design-review, feasibility and advisory capability, including capable SMEs, are the closest fit.
