Summary of the contracting process

The British Council has awarded a contract for the provision of local and international relocation services in Kenya over a period of 36 months, beginning on 1 February 2026. The procurement was conducted via a limited competition method, classified as 'Below threshold', and is currently in the award stage with AGS Worldwide Movers Limited as the designated supplier. The industry category for this contract is service-based, specifically targeting relocation services, and falls under public authority - sub-central government. The contract is valued at 6,920,000 KES (8027200.0 KES gross) and has the potential for a 12-month extension post its conclusion on 31 January 2029.

Businesses specialising in relocation services, particularly those with capabilities in handling international moves, can consider this as an avenue for growth. Large-scale service providers or those seeking to expand their operational footprint in Eastern Africa, specifically Kenya, may find competitive advantages in similar procurement opportunities. Given the nature of the contract that involves significant logistical coordination, firms with robust infrastructure and experience in international service delivery would be well-positioned to bid in these types of tenders successfully.
