Summary of the contracting process

The British Council, a sub-central government public authority based in London, has completed a procurement process titled "WE_1488 - 21st Century Schools Programme - North Macedonia." This process falls under the industry category of services, with a focus on event management, logistics, and operational support services. The procurement method used was a limited competition below the threshold. The contract, valued at €82,641.05, was awarded through an award process concluded on 28th July 2026, with the main supplier being BT Makedonija DOO Skopje. The contract term is set from 1st July 2026 to 31st July 2027, with a possible extension of 12 months, contingent on project needs and supplier performance.
