About the buyer

FCDO Services is a central government trading fund based at Hanslope Park in Milton Keynes. Opportunities are advertised on Find a Tender and, for larger contracts, on Contracts Finder. The FCDO eSourcing Portal, shared with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, carries the same notices tagged as FCDO Services. Competitions range from a straightforward comparison of quotations to a formal sealed tender. Much of the buying also runs through pre-existing framework agreements, including those set up by the Crown Commercial Service. Every supplier passes an assurance process covering data protection and information security before contracting.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of FCDO Services's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and business services.
