Summary of the contracting process

The British Council has concluded a procurement process for consultancy services in gender equality, under a framework agreement for Associate Advisors. This public tender, identified as UK_545, was conducted using an open procurement method, with the aim to provide technical input and support in areas such as business development, programme design, and capacity building strategies. The contracting process is now at the award stage, with the contract period set to commence on 14th November 2025 and end on 3rd October 2033. The primary focus of this contract lies within the public authority sub-central government industry in the United Kingdom, specifically targeting research consultancy services. The total value of this contract is £3,000,000, with a gross amount of £2,400,000, and the standstill period is scheduled to conclude on 7th November 2025.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in gender equality consultancy services. Given the diverse scope of work that includes both contract pursuits from bi-and multi-lateral donors and core grant-funded initiatives, the contract offers a fertile ground for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to showcase their expertise and expand their client base. Among the awarded suppliers, organisations with diverse scales, including both large enterprises and SMEs, have secured roles, indicating a robust likelihood for similar businesses to be successful in such tenders if they can demonstrate excellence in quality and a strong alignment with the British Council’s objectives in advancing gender equality.
