UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is procuring outsourced non-permanent worker services in Bangladesh. The service will provide seasonal and other temporary personnel to support business activities across programmes and projects, business support services, teaching centres and examinations. Most placements are expected to support examination venues, with workers carrying out a range of supportive activities. The requirement covers the supply of personnel, including temporary staff, and is a single service lot delivered in Bangladesh. This is a workforce outsourcing opportunity rather than a permanent recruitment exercise, and is relevant to providers with the local infrastructure and operational capability to recruit, verify, place and manage temporary workers across multiple activity areas and examination locations.

The process has reached tender: the British Council invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. Supplier questions were due by 22 July 2026 at 23:00 UTC, and electronic submissions were permitted in English until 14 August 2026 at 23:00 UTC. The contract is planned to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with possible renewal to 30 September 2030 based on key performance indicators. Its estimated value is £3,826,087 excluding VAT, or £4,600,000 including VAT. The buyer expects to decide by 10 September 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC. Evaluation is 50% commercial, 15% quality and experience, 15% methodology and approach, 10% social value and 10% acceptance of the contract template and KPIs.

This opportunity suits an SME or larger workforce services provider able to operate at substantial seasonal volume in Bangladesh. The requirement anticipates 1,400 to 1,500 non-permanent workers each year across different categories, so bidders need dependable recruitment capacity, candidate verification processes and payroll management capability. Providers should be able to mobilise and coordinate personnel for numerous examination venues as well as programmes, projects, business support services and teaching centres. Strong evidence of relevant experience, a credible delivery methodology and an approach to quality management will matter in evaluation. The commercial model covers recruitment, verification and payroll management, while social value and acceptance of performance measures are also assessed.
