UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured event production and management services in Qatar, covering the end-to-end logistics and delivery of its events portfolio. The requirement is for a strategic events partner rather than a single standalone supply, and is classified as event services. The buyer is the British Council, a public authority, and the work is associated with its activities in Qatar. The procurement covers services, with one requirement for the full event production and management scope. Businesses relevant to this requirement include event production companies, event management agencies and strategic delivery partners able to coordinate the logistics needed to deliver a portfolio of events for the British Council in Qatar.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 30 May 2026, and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. REVA Solutions was awarded the contract for the single requirement. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with an option to extend for up to a further 24 months, giving a maximum contract end date of 31 August 2030. Its value is £125,000 gross. The award basis was set out in section 13 of the request for proposals. Electronic bid submission was allowed. The tender and contract were both below the applicable threshold.

This award indicates that the British Council’s Qatar events portfolio requires a supplier able to act as a strategic partner and manage delivery end to end. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong event production and management capability, including planning and coordinating event logistics across a portfolio rather than delivering only one isolated event. Relevant businesses are likely to be established event agencies, production companies or delivery partners with the operational capacity to support the British Council’s events in Qatar. The awarded supplier is based in Doha, so familiarity with Qatar’s events environment and the ability to organise local delivery may be commercially important. The requirement also demonstrates demand for a substantial multi-year events services relationship.
