Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is seeking to enhance English language services in the South Caucasus, Moldova, and Belarus, as part of its contract titled "CSSF: Enhancing English Language in the South Caucasus, Moldova and Belarus". This public procurement process is complete and follows a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract covers a period from 29th July 2019 to 31st March 2022, with a total contract value of £1,951,000. The tender period concluded on 26th April 2019, and the successful supplier is the British Council, with service provision targeted outside the UK.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in international service delivery and education sectors. Companies with expertise in language training, education, and community service provision in Eastern European regions would find themselves particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Collaboration with organisations like the British Council can also enhance business profiles and capabilities in diverse, multicultural environments.
