Description

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office ("FCDO") intend to engage the market in relation to this project as part of market engagement activity in accordance with Regulation 40 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The purpose of this PIN is to initiate market engagement and is not being used as a call for competition. This PIN is intended to: 1. Engage with and inform the market of the FCDO's requirements, enabling potential contractors to better understand the scope of the requirement and the approach to the procurement process; and 2. To call for suppliers to register their interest in an online event The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) are redeveloping the current Embassy site in Mogadishu, Somalia. The site is within the Aden Adde International Airport compound. The FCO (as was) built the Embassy compound in 2013. It required a fast solution for 'expeditionary diplomacy' in Somalia, which resulted in the highly containerised solution, designed for a temporary 5-year life. Now beyond its design life and despite ongoing maintenance, there are significant parts of the compound that now require complete replacement. Buildings and services are largely at the end of their useful life, substantially due to the Embassy's humidity and coastal location, where high salt content encourages rapid corrosion. There is also a need to provide accommodation more suited to current operations. The project will consist of: - New single accommodation units, - New welfare and recreational facilities, - New guard house, sangers and security compound walls, - Replacement of central plant to facilitate maintenance and future flexibility, - Extended design life of 15 years Estimated Works value £25,000,000 The FCDO are looking for a collaborative and open professional partner with experience of working in hostile environments. The Contractor will have full use of the site and existing buildings. All FCDO staff will be relocated for the duration of the project. The Contractor will also take possession of all services. Phasing of the works will be at the Contractors discretion and the use of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) / Innovation is to be encouraged to find a workable solution given the environment, conditions and programme constraints. Suppliers wishing to attend the forthcoming market engagement event should register their interest by email to jon.meadows@fcdo.gov.uk. You will be sent details of the event and how to join. For the avoidance of doubt, this market approach is not part of a formal procurement process. The FCDO reserves the right to change the process at any stage and to undertake this procurement using alternative routes. Participation or non-participation in this market engagement exercise shall not prevent any supplier participating in the future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of this exercise shall place any supplier at an advantage in a procurement process.
