The site is within the Aden Adde International Airport compound. The FCO (as was) built the Embassy compound in 2013. It required a fast solution for 'expeditionary diplomacy' in Somalia, which resulted in the highly containerised solution, designed for a temporary 5-year life. Now beyond its design life and despite ongoing maintenance, there are significant parts of the compound that now require complete replacement. Buildings and services are largely at the end of their useful life, substantially due to the Embassy's humidity and coastal location, where high salt content encourages rapid corrosion. There is also a need to provide accommodation more suited to current operations. The project will consist of: * New single accommodation units, * New welfare and recreational facilities, * New guard house, sangers and security compound walls, * Replacement of central plant to facilitate maintenance and future flexibility, * Extended design life of 15 years The FCDO are looking for a collaborative and open professional partner with experience of working in hostile environments. The Contractor will have full use of the site and existing buildings. All FCDO staff will be relocated for the duration of the project. The Contractor will also take possession of all services. Phasing of the works will be at the Contractors discretion and the use of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) / Innovation is to be encouraged to find a workable solution given the environment, conditions and programme constraints. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020110-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Jul 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FOREIGN COMMONWEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 2 Jul 2024 at 12:42 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020110-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/fcdo/ - https://fcdo.bravosolution.co.uk - https://fcdo.bravosolution.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
