The British Council, a public authority within the sub-central government sector located in London, initiated a procurement process titled "WE_1059 Hotel Accommodation and Event/Meeting Services". The process aimed at establishing a framework agreement for services in Astana and Almaty, Kazakhstan. The procurement, functioning under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54, was in the tender stage with a deadline for tender submissions by 5th January 2026.
