    The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) will hold an online-only Premarket Engagement event for its Security Guarding Services for BE Kinshasa procurement on 12 August 2026, from 10:00 to 11:30 UK time. Suppliers are invited to express their interest in attending by completing and submitting the Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire at: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/ZS5Pk0N9CV by 12 noon UK time on Monday 10 August 2026. Please note: You cannot attend the online event if you are not registered. Suppliers are also reminded: • If you are not already registered on the Central Digital Platform (CDP), you must do so to obtain a unique supplier identifier number, which is required to bid for FCDO contracts under the Procurement Act 2023. • The FCDO Jaggaer portal will be used to submit your actual bid, and it will require the ID obtained from the CDP. • Registration on Jaggaer is free and takes approximately 5 minutes. We strongly encourage suppliers to register on both platforms (CDP and Jaggaer) early to avoid delays or disappointment when procurement documents become available. This notice is for information only.
