UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is procuring printing and advertising agency services for its Qatar operation. The requirement covers advertising material and printed matter, including printed books, brochures and leaflets. The work is categorised primarily as goods, with the service element focused on supplying printed materials and advertising outputs. Delivery is for the British Council in Qatar, with the awarded suppliers based in Doha. The procurement is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot competition. It is relevant to printing companies, advertising agencies and communications businesses able to manage the production and supply of branded printed materials for a public-sector organisation operating in Qatar. The named successful suppliers are REVA Solutions, Brain Wave Advertising and Communication, and JOPACK INTERNATIONAL TRADING.

This completed open procedure attracted six final bids, including six from SMEs. The tender deadline was 29 June 2026, the award period ended on 25 July 2026 and the award date was 10 August 2026. Three suppliers were selected for the single requirement: REVA Solutions, Brain Wave Advertising and Communication, and JOPACK INTERNATIONAL TRADING. The award value is up to QAR 300,000 gross. The awarded contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with a possible two-year extension to 30 September 2030. The award remained subject to a standstill period ending 24 August 2026, with signature scheduled for 30 September 2026. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 60% and commercial terms at 40%. Submissions could be made electronically in English.

This procurement shows recurring demand from the British Council Qatar for a combined printing and advertising capability rather than a standalone supply of generic stationery. A credible future competitor would need to manage the end-to-end production of printed books, brochures, leaflets and other advertising material, while also providing agency or communications support. The successful supplier profile includes businesses established in Doha and able to serve a public-sector client locally. Competitors should be able to demonstrate strong technical delivery, dependable production and fulfilment capacity, and commercially competitive pricing. The six final bids, all recorded as SME bids, indicate that the requirement can be contested by smaller businesses as well as larger providers. English-language electronic tendering and the technical emphasis make clear written responses and a structured quality proposition important.
