Services include arranging, production & media facilities, catering, security, ICT/resilience and transport services.

FCDO will be hosting a number of major events in 2023 to 2025, some of which may require the services of a transport provider. Some of these events will be high profile attended by Heads of States or Governments and are therefore expected to attract considerable media presence.
