## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is preparing to procure cleaning and gardening services for the British Embassy in Manama, Bahrain. The requirement combines routine cleaning of embassy facilities with gardening and landscape maintenance. It is a services procurement intended to support the operation and appearance of the embassy premises. The buyer is a UK central government department. The requirement is presented as a single service package rather than separate described workstreams, covering both cleaning and landscape gardening. Suppliers with the ability to provide these services in Bahrain, either directly or through an appropriate local delivery model, are the intended market audience.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is being preceded by preliminary market engagement; it is not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to publish the next notice on 30 September 2026. Suppliers are invited to express interest in the market engagement by emailing mnlprocurement@fcdo.gov.uk by 21 September 2026; the engagement milestone is recorded as due on 28 September 2026. The estimated value is £341,755, including gross value, for one lot. The anticipated contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 January 2028, with renewal available until 31 January 2030. The procurement is above the applicable threshold and is identified as suitable for SMEs.

This market engagement is most relevant to cleaning and facilities-service businesses that can also deliver gardening or landscape maintenance for an embassy site in Bahrain. The buyer has asked interested suppliers to prepare a company profile and core business details, including business registration, address, key contacts, years of operation and relevant experience in cleaning and gardening services. Businesses should therefore be ready to demonstrate an established operating history, suitable service capacity and credible experience delivering both elements of the requirement. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller firms may be able to participate, subject to the eventual procurement requirements. Participation can help suppliers understand and potentially influence the final procurement approach before it reaches the market.
