UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured venue hire services for paper-based testing under a PBT Venue Hire Agreement. The requirement covers providing venues for testing activity in Thailand, with the awarded work classified as building rental or sale services. The buyer is the British Council, a public authority operating at sub-central government level. The appointed supplier is Landmark Food And Beverage Co., Ltd., based in Bangkok. This is a venue-based service rather than the supply of testing materials, examination software or teaching services. Businesses relevant to this requirement are venue owners, operators or facilities providers able to make suitable premises available for British Council paper-based testing activity in Thailand. The requirement is grouped as a single lot and concerns service delivery in Thailand.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 10 December 2025 and awarded to Landmark Food And Beverage Co., Ltd. The awarded contract value is THB 1,949,191, including gross value. The contract period runs from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026, with a maximum extent to 31 December 2027. The buyer has an option to extend for one year, based on a performance assessment. One lot was awarded. The procurement was evaluated through a limited competition, with the available process information describing the route but not setting out separate quality or price weightings. The contract remains active and was below threshold.

This award demonstrates established demand from the British Council for managed venue capacity to support paper-based testing in Thailand. It is commercially relevant to venue operators and facilities businesses that can provide premises suitable for organised testing sessions and work reliably with a public-sector customer. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to appropriate venues in Thailand, the operational capacity to support scheduled testing activity, and the ability to maintain consistent standards over the service period. Performance matters commercially because the buyer’s extension option is expressly based on performance assessment. Businesses with a proven record of venue hire, dependable facilities management and experience serving structured, time-sensitive events would be well placed to demonstrate suitability when this requirement is next reviewed.
