## Summary

The procurement process concerning the Building Management System (BMS) for the British Embassy in Washington was initiated by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, based in London, UK. Named "CPG/12667/2025 - SSJ Building MS (BMS) - heating and cooling," this contract falls under the services category, specifically focusing on repair and maintenance services. The procurement was conducted through a 'direct award' due to technical reasons, with Schneider Electric Federal being the only qualified supplier. The procurement stage is marked as complete, and the contract period spans from 9th July 2025 to 8th June 2027. The procurement process was justified under legal basis UKPGA 2023/54, with crucial dates including the contract signing on 8th July 2025 and award publication on 9th July 2025. The location of service delivery is the United States, and the contract is valued at £262,190.73.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in HVAC systems and energy management, particularly those with expertise in building management systems. Schneider Electric’s role as the supplier highlights a competitive advantage for businesses that can offer specialised technical skills and maintenance capabilities for complex systems such as the BMS. An opportunity for growth exists for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate unique competencies or innovation in maintaining and upgrading energy management systems, particularly in international settings like embassies. However, competitors would have needed the initial proprietary knowledge and existing warranty provisions met by Schneider Electric to successfully bid for such a highly specific contract.

## Notice

It has been established that the Building Management System (BMS) that has been partially upgraded during the Refurbishment Project at the BEW that commenced in 2019, is not being currently maintained. Due to it being an integral system controlling the HVAC system and associated M&E assets within the BEW compound, it is imperative that a service contract is put in place immediately.

### Procurement Information

Schneider Electric are the only entity who have the capability and competency to service and maintain the system (legacy and new) installed at the British Embassy Washington (BEW) premises. Subsequently, following the partial upgrade of the system, any 3rd party intervention could jeopardise warranties, whilst there are still some current issues with the system to be addressed/rectified, where the appointment of SE will assist in the process. In addition, the system must be maintained by Schneider to guarantee warranty.
