Opportunity Overview
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is inviting industry participation in an upcoming supplier engagement event focused on its overseas estate management and construction programme.
The FCDO manages one of the UK Government’s largest and most complex international property portfolios, comprising more than 5,900 properties across 179 countries and 282 diplomatic Posts. Valued at approximately £2.4 billion, the estate encompasses a diverse range of assets, including diplomatic compounds, offices, historic buildings, residential accommodation, leased properties and multi-tenanted facilities.
This global estate is critical to the delivery of UK Government objectives and requires sustained investment in construction, refurbishment, maintenance, compliance and infrastructure programmes. Projects are delivered in a wide variety of operating environments and market conditions, often involving complex security, regulatory, logistical and commercial challenges.
This session is intended to provide early insight into the scale and complexity of delivering projects across global locations, alongside the operational challenges associated with international delivery. It will also offer an opportunity for organisations to share views on how future delivery models and procurement approaches can be shaped under the Procurement Act 2023.
Purpose of the Engagement
FCDO is progressing plans to strengthen its approach to delivering a significant portfolio of overseas estate maintenance and construction projects. These programmes vary in scale and complexity and are often delivered in challenging operational environments across multiple international locations. The forthcoming event will:
• Provide early visibility of the scale, pipeline, and complexity of our overseas estates programme
• Set out the delivery challenges and constraints associated with operating internationally (e.g. logistics, security, supply chain resilience, local compliance)
• Enable open dialogue...
