## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), based in London, has completed a limited procurement process for the purchase of a sports utility vehicle (SUV) for the British Embassy in Helsinki. This procurement, governed by the UK Public General Acts 2023 legislation, falls under the 'goods' category. The contract was awarded to Inchcape Motors Finland Oy, a supplier located in Vantaa, Finland, with the contract active from 18th June 2025 to 16th June 2030. The procurement was conducted under 'limited competition' conditions due to its value below the threshold, and the total contract value was GBP 96,800. The contracting process is currently in the 'award' stage, following the signing date on 17th June 2025.

This procurement initiative provides significant business opportunities, particularly for businesses within the automotive industry specialising in motor vehicles. Suppliers, especially those with capabilities in delivering high-quality vehicles as per stringent specifications, may find substantial opportunities in participating in similar future contracts or maintaining fleet vehicles for diplomatic missions. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs), like Inchcape Motors, which can offer specialised products or services, are well-positioned to compete successfully in limited competitive environments where specific expertise is preferred.
