## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office bought a new official motor vehicle for the British High Commission in Nassau, The Bahamas, to replace its existing vehicle. The requirement was for a reliable vehicle suited to local operating conditions and the Commission’s needs, while providing value for money. This is a goods purchase rather than a vehicle hire or fleet service. The vehicle is intended for use by the British High Commission in Nassau; the buyer is the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the UK central government department responsible for the procurement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to FCDO Services - OVPS. The purchase was made through a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, covering the vehicle purchase. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £45,046.11. The award is recorded as active, as is the contract. The procurement sought a vehicle able to operate reliably in local conditions and deliver value for money; no separate scored evaluation criteria are stated in the published process information.

This award shows that the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office buys replacement official vehicles for diplomatic missions overseas, with suitability for local operating conditions and value for money central to the requirement. Suppliers competing for comparable purchases would need to offer new vehicles that meet the mission’s operational needs and can be supplied for use in The Bahamas. Credibility would depend on demonstrating dependable vehicle performance in that environment and a competitive overall offer. The limited-competition route also makes it relevant to suppliers able to engage in a restricted procurement process, rather than relying on an unrestricted public competition. FCDO Services - OVPS, a large supplier, was selected for this purchase.

## Notice
