Buying pattern
Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has published 23 notices that we hold between 1 Sept 2026 and 22 Oct 2026, most often in Facility Management & Cleaning (4). Half of its notices give bidders 27 days or less between publication and the deadline, so a supplier who checks weekly will see almost every one in time. The usual procedure is the open tender.
