Summary of the contracting process

The British Council commissioned event production and management services in Qatar, seeking a strategic partner to manage the end-to-end logistics and delivery of its events portfolio. This covers event services rather than goods or construction work. The named buyer is the British Council, and the service location is Qatar. The procurement concerns one lot for the events portfolio; no individual event types or detailed delivery locations are identified in the available scope. The requirement is suited to suppliers able to coordinate event logistics and manage delivery across a portfolio, rather than providers of a single specified event product.

The procurement has been awarded and the contracts are active. The British Council selected REVA Solutions and Brain Wave Advertising and Communication as suppliers for the single lot. Each supplier has a contract valued at £125,000 gross. Both contracts were signed on 1 September 2026 and run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with an option to extend by up to a further 24 months. The tender was an open competition below the applicable threshold. The submission deadline was 30 May 2026. Evaluation followed the criteria set out in section 13 of the request for proposals; no further detail on the criteria is provided here.

This award shows that the British Council’s Qatar events portfolio is delivered through event production and management suppliers, with two suppliers selected for the same lot. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the capacity to manage event logistics end to end and deliver a portfolio of events, rather than only provide a narrow event service. Experience coordinating operational delivery in Qatar would be directly relevant to this buyer’s requirement. The competition used an open process, and the award to two providers indicates that a supplier’s case should address its ability to deliver alongside another appointed provider, as well as its event management capability. The requirement is evidence of demand for organised event delivery at a substantial portfolio scale; the award itself provides no further detail on technical standards or required accreditations.
