    "description": "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.\nThe 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.\nThis 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.\nThis 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.\nPurpose of the Engagement\nFCDO 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:\n• Provide early visibility of the scale, pipeline, and complexity of our overseas estates programme\n• Set out the delivery challenges and constraints associated with operating internationally (e.g. logistics, security, supply chain resilience, local compliance)\n• Enable open dialogue with the market to inform how FCDO shapes future delivery models and approaches under the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23)\n• Gather structured industry feedback to help us design more effective, accessible, and competitive procurement approaches\nWe are keen to engage with organisations experienced in international construction, design and facilities management, programme delivery, and experience operating in complex environments.\nThe event will be hosted on 28th July 2026 between 1pm-4pm, location:\nFCDO London office\nKing Charles Street\nLondon\nSW1A 2AH\nUnited Kingdom",
