Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured IT parts and consumables for delivery in Colombia. The requirement is classified as IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support, while the awarded items are classified as hardware. This is a services procurement centred on supplying IT hardware and related consumables for the British Council’s operations in Colombia. The buying organisation is the British Council, a public authority operating at sub-central government level. Businesses relevant to this requirement include suppliers of computer hardware, IT components, peripherals, replacement parts and consumable items, particularly those able to support delivery and supply arrangements in Colombia. The requirement was organised as a single lot covering the full procurement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The award went to Comercializadora Landa Ltda, a Colombian supplier. The tender and lot value was £116,760 excluding tax and £139,000 including tax. The contract was signed on 14 June 2026 and runs from 15 June 2026 to 14 June 2029, with a one-year renewal option extending the maximum period to 14 June 2030. The lot’s stated evaluation criteria were commercial capacity and experience at 30%, technical specifications at 60%, and price at 40%. The tender submission deadline was 27 April 2026, and the enquiry deadline was 16 April 2026. Electronic submission was allowed.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting the British Council’s IT hardware and consumables requirements in Colombia. A credible competitor would need commercial capacity to source and supply the required parts reliably, together with relevant experience delivering comparable IT hardware or consumables contracts. Technical compliance is particularly important because the published evaluation places substantial emphasis on meeting the specified technical requirements. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate that their products meet detailed specifications, maintain dependable supply chains and provide accurate product information. Price remains a material part of the assessment, so cost control and competitive pricing would also be important. The selected supplier is a large Colombian business, indicating that local delivery capability and established commercial presence may support competitiveness.
