In plain English
FCDO Services is setting up a framework agreement for electrical inspection and testing at its diplomatic posts around the world, plus additional ad hoc work when needed. The estimated value is £23 million, and the work is split into eleven regional lots covering the USA, South America, Canada and the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Asia Pacific and high voltage work worldwide.
What the buyer wants
• Testing and inspection of electrical installations at posts worldwide, with the notice asking for 100% testing coverage • Production of Electrical Installation Condition Reports, which will inform remedial works on other programmes • Ad hoc electrical services as and when required, plus separate high voltage work under Lot 11
Lots
- USA
- South America
- Canada, Central America & Caribbean
- Europe
- EECAD
- Sub-Saharan Africa
- North Africa
- Middle East
- South Asia
- Asia Pacific
- Worldwide High Voltage
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The work spans eleven regional lots across posts worldwide at an estimated £23 million, so a small business would most likely be ruled out by the scale of the framework and the need to cover multiple regions or countries, although the notice does not state specific financial, experience or qualification thresholds.

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.
