UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council Bangladesh is procuring communications and audio/visual production services for the “E-ffective Governance: Accelerating E-Government and Digital Public Services in Bangladesh” project. The requirement covers communications support and audio/visual production associated with the project, classified under event services. The work is for delivery in Bangladesh. The buying organisation is the British Council, with the Bangladesh operation inviting suppliers to provide the services. This is a service contract rather than a purchase of goods or construction works, and is relevant to businesses that provide communications production, audio/visual content or related event services for international development, public-sector or digital-services programmes.

The process reached tender: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers could submit enquiries until 26 July 2026 at 17:30 UTC, and offers were due by 7 August 2026 at 17:30 UTC. The single contract is planned to run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with an extension option taking the maximum period to 29 February 2028; the extension is intended to cover the remaining project delivery period. The estimated value is £40,124 excluding VAT and £46,142 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 60% technical and 40% commercial. Electronic submission is allowed.

This opportunity suits qualified and experienced suppliers specialising in communications and audio/visual production, particularly those able to support a British Council project in Bangladesh. Relevant businesses may include production companies, communications agencies and event-service providers with the capability to deliver audio/visual outputs and wider communications services for an e-government and digital public-services programme. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate the technical strength of their offer, since technical quality carries more weight than the commercial element in evaluation. The requirement is also suited to organisations able to quote for a defined service package and work within a project that may require delivery beyond the initial contract period.
