Summary of the contracting process

The British Council has initiated a public procurement process titled "Chevening Dipbagging" geared towards acquiring merchandise to distribute to British Embassies globally, aiding them in promoting Chevening locally. Categorised under Information and Promotion Products (CPV: 39294100), this tender falls under the procurement stage, with key dates including the notice publication on 18th February 2025, the tender closing on 26th February 2025 at 14:00, and the contract period from 3rd March to 31st May 2025. This procurement uses an open procedure below the threshold, with an anticipated value of £0.01 GBP. The project is based in the United Kingdom and the primary procurement category is goods.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by allowing them to supply promotional merchandise, potentially boosting their business growth through international exposure. Given its relatively low project value and open procedure, it is well-suited for businesses specialising in promotional goods. Companies looking to expand their market presence or swell their portfolio with government contracts could find this tender particularly beneficial. Businesses experienced in delivering items internationally and capable of managing a precise delivery timetable would be especially competitive.
