## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is seeking security guarding services for the British Embassy compound in Luanda, Angola. The requirement covers continuous, round-the-clock unarmed static guarding across all sites. Guards will control access, verify identities, conduct searches and patrols, monitor CCTV, respond to incidents and protect embassy personnel, visitors, dependants, property and assets. They must prevent unauthorised access, detect suspicious activity and enforce perimeter security. Service delivery must follow the Authority’s standard operating procedures, local legislation and defined staffing structures. This is a security services requirement for suppliers able to provide reliable guarding operations at a diplomatic compound in Angola.

The buyer invited offers through a two-stage competitive flexible procedure under the light-touch regime. The first stage used pass/fail questions and three technical questions; successful participants proceeded to an invitation to tender, which includes negotiation before final award. Enquiries were due by 30 October 2026 at 16:00, and expressions of interest by 6 November 2026 at 18:00. The buyer set 20 November 2026 as the award decision date. The contract is planned to run from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2030, with two optional one-year extensions, potentially to 31 January 2032. The stated value is £510,000. There is one lot; selection focuses on capability and delivery in Luanda, and award is based on quality.

This opportunity is suited to security firms with the operational capability to deliver guarding in Luanda and maintain a consistent, resilient service across a British Embassy compound. Bidders need to demonstrate that they can staff continuous 24/7 unarmed static guarding across all sites and deliver access control, identity checks, searches, patrols, CCTV monitoring and incident response. The work calls for sound protection of people and property, effective perimeter security, and the ability to identify and respond to suspicious activity. Suppliers must be able to work to the Authority’s procedures, comply with local legislation and meet defined staffing arrangements. The selection stage specifically considers capability and delivery in Luanda, while the award assessment is quality-based.
