UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is procuring education and training services for the PEACEPLUS programme. It seeks at least seven further or higher education institutions and local civil society organisations that work on relevant ethical media topics. Providers will deliver 20 Media CONNECT training courses, each lasting 20 hours, for students and community members, and support participants with on-site reporting and content production. Delivery will take place across the PEACEPLUS programme area, covering 17 regions in Northern Ireland and the border areas of Ireland. The requirement is suited to organisations able to provide structured media education, community training and practical support in reporting and content creation across both jurisdictions.

The procurement has reached tender: the British Council invited suppliers to submit offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 31 July 2026 at 14:00, and the tender submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 14:00. Electronic submission is allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 1 September 2028. The estimated value is EUR 57,500 excluding tax, or EUR 69,000 including tax. There is one lot. Offers will be evaluated on quality and methodology, weighted at 60%, and commercial factors, weighted at 40%. The submission deadline has been extended.

This opportunity suits further and higher education providers with experience delivering media, adult education or professional training, as well as local civil society organisations focused on ethical media issues. Strong candidates will be able to design and deliver 20-hour courses for both students and community members, adapt teaching to different audiences and support practical participant work. Providers should have the people, teaching capability and local reach to deliver across multiple regions in Northern Ireland and the Irish border areas. Relevant expertise includes ethical media practice, reporting, content production and community engagement. Organisations able to coordinate delivery across several locations and support participants on site are particularly well placed.
