Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured professional education and training services to design and deliver a bespoke online course for English language teachers in Argentina. The requirement covers the provision of language courses and related professional development, with the course intended for teachers rather than general learners. Delivery is in Argentina, and the buying organisation is the British Council, a public authority operating at sub-central government level. This is a service requirement for a provider able to create a tailored online learning offer and deliver it to the relevant teaching audience. The procurement therefore suits organisations working in English-language teaching, teacher development, online course design, digital learning delivery or related education and training services, particularly where they can operate in the Argentine context.

This below-threshold procurement used an open competition. The tender was completed and the contract was awarded to ELT Consultants Ed. The award was made on 3 July 2026, with the contract signed on 30 July 2026. The active contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2029 and is valued at £99,000 gross. The tender and lot estimate was £78,210 excluding tax. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2026 at 18:00, and enquiries closed on 10 June 2026 at 20:00. There was one lot. Evaluation covered knowledge and experience, methodology and approach, and commercial considerations. The buyer reserved three one-year extensions, allowing the lot period to extend to 2 July 2030.

This award indicates that the British Council has a defined requirement for bespoke online professional development for English language teachers in Argentina. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine subject knowledge in English-language teaching with demonstrable experience designing and delivering high-quality teacher development courses. The evaluation also shows that buyers will examine the provider’s knowledge and experience, its methodology and approach, and its commercial offer. Relevant capability includes translating teacher-development objectives into an engaging online course, managing digital delivery for the target audience, and demonstrating a reliable education and training operation. Suppliers with established course-development processes, experienced teaching or training specialists, and evidence of delivering comparable online programmes would be well placed to compete when this requirement returns.
