FCDO Services plans a GBP 120m global works framework in multiple discipline lots
A GBP 120m framework for works on the UK's overseas estate is coming, lotted by discipline, so a specialist with the right security clearance can compete in one trade.
FCDO Services published a planning notice for a Global Works Framework with an estimated value of GBP 120 million, to be split into multiple discipline lots. The notice says separate invitations to tender will award work packages to contractors to complete works for FCDO Services around the world.
Works on the UK's overseas estate carry security vetting and logistics demands that most contractors never meet, which keeps the field small. A discipline-lotted framework lowers the bar for specialists who can meet the security requirements in one trade without taking on whole projects.
