UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is procuring event management and production services in Saudi Arabia. The appointed service provider will support British Council-led events from planning through production and delivery, covering the practical coordination and delivery of events rather than the supply of a specific product. This is a services requirement, classified under event services (CPV 79952000). The work is to be delivered in Saudi Arabia for the British Council’s activities there. It is intended for a provider able to take responsibility for supporting events across these stages and to work with the British Council as the commissioning organisation. The requirement is presented as a single event services package.

The process has reached tender: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 3 August 2026 at 20:59 UTC, and offers by 12 August 2026 at 20:59 UTC. Electronic submission was allowed. The estimated gross value is £70,000. The contract is planned from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with an option to extend for up to a further 12 months, giving a maximum end date of 31 August 2030. There is one package covering the requirement. Offers will be evaluated in accordance with the attached request for proposals document.

This opportunity suits a qualified event management and production service provider operating in Saudi Arabia, particularly one able to support the complete event lifecycle described by the British Council. Relevant capability includes planning events, managing production requirements and delivering British Council-led events. Suppliers should be able to coordinate these activities as a service rather than provide only a narrow, standalone event element. The requirement may suit businesses with the operational capacity to work across multiple British Council events and to manage delivery in the Saudi Arabian market. The published requirement identifies qualification as a condition of the provider sought; the detailed request for proposals sets out the basis on which capability and the proposed service will be assessed.
