UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured a creative bootcamp programme for Jalisco, Mexico. The requirement covered programme design, recruitment and management of UK experts, with the activity delivered in Mexico. It is a professional services opportunity focused on business development consultancy and training. The procurement was arranged as one requirement rather than separate service packages. The work is relevant to organisations that can design and run structured creative-sector programmes, recruit suitable UK-based specialists and manage their delivery for an international audience. It may also suit providers with experience supporting creative businesses, coordinating expert-led learning and working across UK and Mexican stakeholders. The British Council is the buying organisation and the contract supports its international programme activity in Jalisco.

This below-threshold procurement used an open competition. The tender is complete and the contract has been awarded to Film London. The single lot was evaluated on methodology, experience, equality, diversity and inclusion, and commercial considerations. The tender enquiry deadline was 19 June 2026 and the bid deadline was 1 July 2026. The lot was valued at £36,450 excluding VAT and £45,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 16 August 2026, started on 17 August 2026 and runs until 30 June 2027. The active contract has a gross value of £45,000. Electronic submission was allowed. The selected supplier is Film London, a large organisation, and the awarded services include training delivered in Mexico.

This procurement indicates demand from the British Council for an international creative-sector programme combining programme design, expert recruitment, training and delivery management. A credible future competitor would need to show a clear methodology for designing a bootcamp, relevant experience delivering comparable creative or business-development programmes, and access to qualified UK experts. The evaluation also demonstrates that equality, diversity and inclusion formed part of the purchasing decision, so bidders should be able to explain how these considerations are built into programme design, recruitment and delivery. Experience of managing stakeholders across the UK and Mexico, coordinating training activity in Mexico and supporting creative businesses would strengthen a competing proposition. Film London’s selection shows that an established creative-sector organisation was considered capable of delivering this integrated requirement.
