Summary of the contracting process

The British Council initiated a public procurement process titled "ITT - YU93TVET52025 - IT Equipment for COE in Pakistan", inviting suppliers to provide computer and peripheral equipment to a Centre of Excellence in Pakistan. This tender was classified under the goods category and employed an open procedure, thereby inviting broad participation. Initially announced with relevant deadlines, the tender had its submission close on 2nd July 2025. Located primarily in London, where the British Council is headquartered, the procurement process had progressed through various stages until it reached completion, ultimately leading to cancellation of the award decision as of 26th November 2025, due to the organisation's right to terminate under certain legal grounds.

This tender represented a significant business opportunity with a contract valued up to £950,000 for a period of 36 months, potentially extendable by an additional 12 months based on performance. Businesses with strengths in providing IT equipment and capable of fulfilling detailed quality and commercial criteria were ideal candidates for participation. This contract could have provided substantial growth prospects, particularly for enterprises with experience servicing public sector agencies or those specialising in IT solutions tailored to educational and institutional environments.
