In plain English
FCDO Services, the buying arm of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, wants to set up a framework of approved contractors for building works at its offices, residential properties and embassy buildings around the world. The estimated total value is £170 million, and work packages will be awarded later through separate tender exercises.
What the buyer wants
• Contractors who can carry out fire alarm, electrical, mechanical, general building, turnkey, secure, asbestos removal and HV/LV infrastructure works, either in one discipline or across several • Delivery of installation, maintenance, inspection, testing and refurbishment work in one or more of four global regions: Europe, Americas, Africa and Middle East, and Asia Pacific • Successful bidders would then compete for individual work packages through separate invitation to tender (ITT) exercises
Lots
- Fire Alarm
- Electrical Works
- Mechanical Works
- General Works
- Turnkey Works
- Secure Works
- Asbestos Removal
- HV and LV Infrastructure
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small firms would likely be ruled out by the scale of the framework (£170 million), the requirement to deliver works across four world regions including embassy sites, and the need to show a track record strong enough to compete for packages through formal tender exercises, although a specialist firm with a strong track record in one lot and region could still bid.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
