The public procurement contract was initiated by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) for the acquisition of an EX Sportage Hybrid vehicle to be used by the FCDO Estates Team at the British Embassy in Washington. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically motor vehicles, and has been conducted through a limited competition process, below the threshold.

The contract valued at £27,364.63 offers substantial growth potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their market presence in the governmental procurement sector.
