Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured event management, logistics and operational support services for its 21st Century Schools Programme in North Macedonia. The requirement covers the practical organisation and delivery of programme-related activities, including event coordination, logistical arrangements and operational support. It is a services contract, with specialist training services included in the published classification. Delivery is in North Macedonia, for activities managed by the British Council. This is relevant to businesses that provide end-to-end event operations, local logistics, programme support or related coordination services in North Macedonia. The buying organisation is the British Council, a public authority operating from London. The requirement was arranged as a single procurement covering the full stated service scope.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to BT Makedonija DOO Skopje on 30 June 2026. The awarded gross value is EUR 82,641.05. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a possible further 12-month extension, subject to project needs, budget availability and satisfactory supplier performance. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and is active. One lot was completed and awarded. The outcome indicates that the British Council selected a single supplier for the event management, logistics and operational support requirement in North Macedonia.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting British Council programme-support work in North Macedonia. A credible competitor would need to coordinate events reliably, arrange local and possibly cross-border logistics, and provide responsive operational support throughout programme delivery. Local knowledge, dependable delivery partners, strong organisation and the capacity to manage several practical activities at once would be relevant strengths. Experience supporting education, training or international development programmes could help demonstrate an understanding of the operating environment, although the published requirement is centred on event and logistics delivery. The selected supplier is a large organisation, so competitors should be able to evidence sufficient operational capacity, dependable staffing and the ability to deliver consistently for a public-sector client.
