UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured services for a Partner Testing Point Agreement in Bangkok. The requirement concerns the provision of a partner testing point, with the procurement classification describing the underlying activity as building rental or sale services (CPV 70310000). The work is delivered in Bangkok, Thailand, for the British Council, a public authority operating at sub-central government level. This is a facilities and premises-based opportunity rather than a general testing, consultancy or construction contract: its central commercial relevance is to organisations able to provide suitable premises in Bangkok for use as a partner testing point. The procurement was structured as a single lot covering the full requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Westminster International Co., Ltd was awarded the contract on 9 March 2026. The award is active and the contract is also active. The contract value is £89,720 gross, with a contract period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. The award covered the single lot. The contracting route was a limited procurement rather than an open competition, with the process described as below-threshold limited competition. The recorded evaluation basis is the selection made through that limited competition. The contract was signed before the service period began, and the selected supplier is based in Bangkok.

This outcome indicates demand from the British Council for dedicated premises in Bangkok to support a partner testing point over a multi-year service period. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be established property or facilities businesses with access to suitable premises in Bangkok, the capacity to make those premises available for the required duration, and the operational reliability to support a British Council partner location. Credibility would come from demonstrating control or management of appropriate buildings, experience providing commercial premises or similar managed facilities, and the resources to maintain a dependable site for testing-related activity. Businesses monitoring this buyer should focus on premises-led services and understand that a limited, below-threshold competition was used for this requirement.
