Summary of the contracting process

The British Council has initiated a tender process for "Electricity Maintenance Services France", targeting the maintenance services of electrical installations at its Paris office. This procurement falls under the service category and is conducted as an open competition, specifically below the threshold, allowing a broader participation. Interested parties must submit their enquiries by 22nd February 2026, with final submissions due by 15th March 2026. The current stage is active and led by Gabriela Grigore, the contact point at British Council, based in London. The contracting period extends from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2027, with potential renewal options for up to three additional years.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical maintenance and repair services, particularly those with operational capabilities in France. The procurement's below-threshold approach implies a more straightforward entry for smaller firms, allowing them to compete on a fairly even playing field. Companies capable of delivering quality services within the stipulated contract period may find substantial growth opportunities, especially given the potential for extensions. Such businesses can leverage this contract to establish or expand their presence in France, benefiting from the British Council's reputable operations.
