UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is procuring facilities management services for its four offices in Nigeria. The requirement covers general repair and maintenance, cleaning, landscape gardening and fumigation services, delivered across Nigeria. This is a services contract for a provider able to manage facilities operations across multiple office locations, rather than a single works project or isolated cleaning assignment. The British Council is the buying organisation. The scope includes ongoing operational support and the associated management, supply chain, storage and distribution arrangements needed to deliver the services. Suppliers should consider whether they can provide coordinated facilities management in Nigeria and support consistent service standards across four sites. The procurement is presented as one combined requirement rather than separate location-specific opportunities.

The process reached tender: the British Council invited offers through an accelerated open procedure because of state urgency. Clarification questions and mandatory site visits were due by 6 August 2026 at 17:00 UTC, and tender responses were due by 12 August 2026 at 17:00 UTC. Electronic submission in English was allowed. The contract is expected to run from 8 October 2026 to 7 October 2029, with renewal available after satisfactory delivery and a maximum end date of 7 October 2030. The estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT and £480,000 including VAT. Award is expected by 6 October 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC. Evaluation is 40% commercial, 20% quality, 15% work record, 15% methodology and approach, and 10% social value.

This opportunity suits facilities management providers with established delivery capability in Nigeria and experience of comparable services in the country. Bidders need to demonstrate a credible work record, effective management controls, auditing and KPI arrangements that maintain high standards, and practical standard operating procedures. The delivery model also needs supply chain management, storage and distribution capability, alongside the operational ability to cover four British Council offices. Social value proposals should address climate issues and staff mental health. Commercial submissions are important: suppliers are expected to explain pricing, cost-optimisation opportunities, management and support fees, overheads and variable costs. The requirement is therefore best suited to experienced, well-organised providers able to mobilise and control multi-site FM services, attend mandatory site visits and evidence reliable performance.
