| supplier not published | — | 29 Aug 2025 | CancelledOn behalf of the British Embassy in Washington DC, we regret to inform that ITT_7181 - Provision of Hard Facilities Management Services for the British Embassy in Washington will need to be cancelled and restarted due to the opportunity value being advertised at an underestimated amount. To comply with The Procurement Act 2023 regulations, this means we will have to restart the process with advertising the correct estimated value. As a consequence of this, the FCDO will no longer be proceeding with the current procurement process, however, the procurement for Provision of Hard Facilities Management Services for the British Embassy in Washington will be re-tendered and re-advertised as soon as possible. All bidders participating in the previous tender and any other potential suppliers will be invited to bid again to ensure fairness in the process. We regret the inconvenience which this may cause and highly appreciate the time and effort given in participating in the ITT stage. Kind Regards, AME Procurement Team |
