Summary of the contracting process

The British Council, a sub-central government public authority located in London, UK, is in the tender stage of procuring storage and warehousing services titled "Storage Facilities in UAE". This open competition tender, with an estimated value of £30,000 - £32,000, seeks one or two suppliers with warehousing capabilities in the United Arab Emirates (AE). The submission deadline is set for 15th December 2025, and the contract period is expected to run from 5th January 2026 to 4th January 2028, with a potential two-year extension. Businesses interested in participating can submit their applications electronically via the specified online platform.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the warehousing and logistics sector, particularly those with existing operations or the capacity to expand into the UAE. Companies that can demonstrate high-quality service delivery, an effective methodology and approach, and competitive pricing will be well-positioned to compete. With quality and commercial criteria each weighing substantially in the evaluation process, suppliers that excel in both areas stand a greater chance of securing this contract, supporting their business growth and global reach.
