## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office intends to procure security guarding services for the British Embassy compound in Luanda, Angola. The service is intended to provide consistent, resilient and high-quality security across the compound. This is a services contract for guarding, rather than a supply of equipment or construction works. The planned procurement concerns one service package at the embassy in Luanda. Suppliers whose business covers the delivery of security guarding services in Angola may find the scope relevant, particularly those able to provide ongoing coverage at a diplomatic premises. The buyer is the UK government department responsible for foreign affairs and development.

The process is at the planning stage: the buyer has set out its intention to procure, but this is not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use an open procedure. The estimated contract value is £510,000. The anticipated contract period runs from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2030, with two optional one-year extensions and a possible end date of 31 January 2032. The buyer expects the award decision by 1 December 2026. Indicative procurement dates include an enquiry period ending 30 October 2026 and a tender period ending 6 November 2026; these are planned dates, not a current invitation or response deadline. Quality accounts for 100% of the stated award weighting. The procurement is divided into one lot.

The buyer has identified the service as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller guarding firms may be well placed to prepare. The work is suited to suppliers with the operational capability to deliver reliable security services at an embassy compound in Luanda, and to maintain consistent service quality over a multi-year contract. Resilience is a stated requirement alongside high-quality delivery. The buyer’s stated focus is security guarding across the compound; this favours providers able to organise and sustain that service at the location. No specific accreditation, staffing level or technical qualification is set out in the planning information, so suppliers should base early preparation on their relevant guarding experience and ability to meet the stated service objectives.
