Summary of the contracting process

The British Council, a public authority operating as a sub-central government entity, recently concluded the procurement process for domestic courier services in Uzbekistan. This contract has been awarded to FE LLC "BTS EXPRESS CARGO SERVIS" and is currently in the award stage. The procurement initiative, initiated under the legal basis of the UKPGA 2023/54, involved below-threshold procurement processes aimed at acquiring services in the courier industry, specifically within the postal and courier services categories. The contract is active from 12th March 2026 and is set to run until 11th March 2028, with the possibility of four additional annual extensions reaching a maximum date in 2032. The total contract value is £78,400 gross, with a specific allocation of £70,000 to the main services.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in logistics and courier services to establish and expand their presence within the Central Asian market, particularly in Uzbekistan. The nature of this contract benefits larger, well-established firms capable of managing comprehensive courier services across the region. Given the contract's structured potential for extension, businesses with a strategic focus on long-term service delivery and capacity to adapt to evolving logistical needs in a cross-border context will find substantial growth opportunities. Engaging in this procurement process allows businesses to leverage their operational strengths and diversify their service offerings within an international framework guided by reputable institutions such as the British Council.
