Summary of the contracting process

The British Council has concluded a procurement process for taxi services required by its office in Ethiopia. The contract, titled "Taxi Services," was executed with the supplier Feres Commission Business Activities. This procurement falls under the services category, with a focus on transport agency services, and is conducted via a limited procurement method due to it being a below-threshold competition. The contract was awarded as active as of 9 January 2026, covering a service period from 10 December 2025 to 30 September 2026, with a total value of £11,700. The agreement allows for the possibility of renewal, contingent upon performance and ongoing needs, potentially extending the contract through to September 2029.

This opportunity presents a growth avenue for suppliers specialising in transport agency services, particularly those that can deliver quality services under limited competition frameworks. Enterprises with the capability to manage regional service deliveries effectively and those with a track record of reliability may find this type of contract advantageous. Furthermore, the capacity for contract renewal means that there is potential for long-term partnership, thereby securing stable future revenue streams for businesses capable of maintaining high service standards and adapting to evolving client requirements.
