Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is planning a tender for the project titled "Global _ Exams _ Distribution Exams Delivery - Globally Jun20 to Jun22," which falls under the education and training services category. This initiative aims to select organisations capable of providing venue capacity, facilities, and invigilation services for high-stakes exams. The procurement process is set to take place globally, with a competitive tender process scheduled for March 2021. Interested suppliers are encouraged to submit their background information via the Prior Information Notice (PIN) before the date, with a significant contract value of £1,000,000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in venue management, event organisation, and exam administration services. Companies that provide facilities for educational purposes, as well as those experienced in high-stakes exam invigilation, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The competitive nature of this tender not only allows successful bidders to expand their service offerings but also enhances their visibility within the education sector on a global scale, potentially leading to sustained relationships with the British Council.
