Summary of the contracting process

The British Council has completed a public procurement process for the provision of office supplies, including stationery and cleaning/hygiene materials for their back office and teaching centre. The contract, titled "Provision of office supplies," falls under the goods category with CPV classifications for office supplies, stationery, and cleaning products. It was awarded to Office Mix, a supplier based in Tbilisi, Georgia. This procurement is classified as "Below threshold," with the legal basis outlined in UK legislation (2023/54). The contract, signed on 5th December 2025, commenced on 8th December 2025 and is set to end on 7th December 2027, with an option to renew the contract up to four additional times, each lasting twelve months. The award stage is complete, with an active contract currently in place.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of office goods, cleaning products, or those looking to expand their market presence internationally, as the delivery location is Georgia. SMEs like Office Mix, which successfully secured the contract, can leverage such opportunities to bolster their business by providing necessary supplies to governmental and educational institutions. Suppliers specializing in offering competitive pricing, consistent quality, and the ability to cater to bulk orders would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes initiated by public authorities like the British Council.
