What the notice says

FCDO Services require suitably qualified Logistics Services partners to deliver end‑to‑end shipping and freight support for diplomatic and commercial consignments within the UK and internationally. This requirement includes the handling and transportation of consignments of varying size, weight, and complexity. Services may be required on both an ad‑hoc basis and in accordance with pre‑defined schedules. At the time of publication of this notice, the Authority has not determined the number of contracts to be awarded, nor the full scope, scale, or duration of services required. These elements will be defined as the requirement develops and through pre-market engagement and subsequent procurement documentation.

How to bid
