What is being bought

This procurement relates to the establishment of a framework agreement for the provision of general maintenance works at the British High Commission (BHC) Lusaka estate. The requirement covers both office and residential properties, ensuring that all facilities are maintained in a safe, functional, and compliant condition at all times. The procurement is based on the Terms of Reference (ToR), which define the service scope, performance standards, and delivery expectations for a comprehensive maintenance contract. The estate consists of 18 properties, including the BHC office, the High Commissioner’s Residence, Leopards Green Compound (10 properties), and standalone residential houses. Procurement Approach The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) intends to appoint up to three (3) suitably qualified and experienced contractors under a multi-supplier framework agreement. This approach is designed to: • Ensure operational resilience and continuity of service • Provide flexibility and responsiveness across multiple sites • Enable rapid mobilisation for emergency and urgent works • Support efficient workload allocation across contractors • Deliver value for money through a competitive procurement process The Procurement Hub is seeking stakeholder endorsement of this approach prior to execution. Scope of Goods, Services, and Works The selected contractor(s) will provide a fully managed general maintenance service, including labour, supervision, materials, tools, and equipment required to undertake both reactive maintenance and planned preventative maintenance (PPM). The scope includes, but is not limited to: 1. Building Fabric and Structural Maintenance 2. Roofing and Waterproofing 3. Painting and Finishes 4. Carpentry and Joinery 5. Metalwork and Welding 6.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Repair and maintenance services (50000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
