This initiative, tagged under works in the industry category, is currently at the planning stage. The FCDO intends to establish a three-year framework contract starting on 15th February 2026, which can be extended subject to performance. A virtual engagement session with potential South African suppliers is scheduled for 12th November 2025. This large-scale project, valued at £1,000,000, covers multiple countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including South Africa, Angola, and Botswana, amongst others. Interested parties should note that the framework agreement will operate on an as-and-when-required basis, offering an opportunity to deliver services as needed across the region. This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses skilled in electrical wiring and fitting work. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) in relevant regions are particularly encouraged to participate, given the inclusive nature of the suitability criteria. The framework agreement's flexible and scalable nature allows businesses to align their resources and expertise with the contractual demands, thus promoting business growth and expanding operational scopes within the African market. Companies with the capacity to provide high-quality electrical services consistently across different geographical locations will find this an advantageous opportunity to enhance their portfolio and visibility in international markets. ## Notice The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) wishes to establish a framework contract with South African service providers to deliver electrical services across its estates; including both residential and official properties in Sub-Saharan Africa.
