Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is procuring a field support partner for the EDGE Punjab Project with UNICEF. This is a service requirement covering event services and field support activity in Pakistan, with the project specifically relating to Punjab. The appointed supplier will support delivery of this project alongside UNICEF. The opportunity is suited to organisations providing practical field coordination and event-related services in Pakistan, particularly those able to operate in the project’s delivery environment and work with an international public-sector organisation. The British Council is the buying organisation and is responsible for procuring the service. The requirement is a single service lot rather than a purchase of goods or construction works.

The procurement has reached tender: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Electronic submission is allowed, and offers were due by 3 August 2026 at 18:59 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 20 August 2026 to 19 September 2028, with an option to extend for up to six months based on performance, to a maximum end date of 19 March 2029. The estimated value is £92,000 excluding VAT, or £115,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on commercial pricing at 40%, quality of methodology and approach at 35%, and company profile and safeguarding at 25%.

This opportunity suits suppliers with experience delivering field support and event services for projects in Pakistan, especially organisations able to provide a clear operating methodology and practical approach. Bidders need to present their company profile and address safeguarding requirements, so relevant governance, safeguarding procedures and evidence of responsible delivery will be important to the response. The evaluation gives greater combined weight to quality and organisational capability than to price, favouring suppliers that can explain how they will deliver the required support and manage the project effectively. Suppliers should also be able to complete the required supplier response and pricing approach submissions and support work connected with the EDGE Punjab Project and UNICEF.
