Summary of the contracting process

The British Council has initiated a procurement process titled the "British Council Transformation Plan," which falls under the business and management consultancy services category. This process was conducted by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), headquartered in London, England. The procurement method utilised was a selective call-off from a framework agreement under MCF4 lot 10 (RM6309). The procurement commenced with a tendering phase that has now reached the award stage, with the contract being awarded on 9th February 2026. The contract period extends from 10th February 2026 to 13th March 2026, and the total contract value is £120,000. The services span a wide geographical reach, including the United Kingdom, British Oversea Territories, and other global regions.

This award presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in management consultancy services, particularly those experienced in large-scale organisational transformation. The suitability criteria explicitly support the inclusion of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), fostering a competitive landscape for diverse business growth. Deloitte LLP, a large-scale supplier, has been awarded this contract, demonstrating scope for both large firms and innovative SMEs to collaborate or compete in comparable future bids. Businesses aiming to leverage their expertise in consultancy, global strategy, and transformation stand to benefit considerably by aligning their services with this type of public procurement opportunity.
