Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is procuring comprehensive business travel management services for its operations in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. The requirement covers travel agency and business travel services, including travel ticket sales, package tours and related travel support. Services will be delivered in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, with separate requirements for each country. The procurement is a services contract and uses a framework arrangement. The British Council is the buying organisation. Suppliers need to understand and manage business travel requirements in both local markets, while the individual country lots focus on delivery in Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan. The requirement is intended to provide cost-effective travel management for the British Council and its business travellers.

The procurement has been awarded following an open competitive flexible procedure, evaluated on social value (10%), quality (30%), methodology and approach (20%), and commercial pricing (40%). It has two completed lots. For Uzbekistan, ANXOR SAYLI MCHJ and LUXE FOUNDATION TRAVEL MCHJ were selected, each with an awarded value of £1,120,000 gross (£918,400 excluding VAT), awarded on 6 August 2026. For Kazakhstan, International Travel plus - BCD Travel was selected, with an awarded value of £550,000 gross (£462,000 excluding VAT), also awarded on 6 August 2026. Each contract is due to run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with up to four one-year extensions to 31 August 2031. The framework allows up to four suppliers.

This opportunity indicates demand for locally delivered business travel management in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, with separate country capability valued alongside commercial pricing, service quality and methodology. Credible future suppliers would need an active company legally registered in the relevant bidding country, together with an online booking platform and 24/7 support. They would also need to demonstrate a strong operating model for managing business travel, reliable customer service, cost control and measurable social value. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the final-stage bid statistics show five bidders for Uzbekistan and two for Kazakhstan. Experience supporting organisational travel across the relevant local market would therefore be important when competing for a similar requirement.
