Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured consultative engineering and construction services for building works needed to support the sale of a property. The requirement is an extension to a previous contract, focused on work at a building in Spain. The service category covers engineering and construction consultancy rather than physical construction alone, so relevant businesses may include firms providing technical advice, project support, building assessments or related construction consultancy. The buyer is the British Council, a public authority operating at sub-central government level. Delivery is in Spain. The procurement was structured as one service lot, covering the full requirement for the building-related extension.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. It was evaluated through this direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. REHABICEN, SA was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 8 July 2026. The contract value is EUR 200,000 gross. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The contract is active and the award is active. The requirement formed one completed lot. The stated purpose was to extend a previous contract because works were needed in the building for its sale.

For competitors, this award signals that the British Council has demand in Spain for building-related engineering and construction consultancy linked to property disposal or sale preparation. A credible future supplier would need to provide practical, technically informed advice on building works and support the client’s commercial objective, rather than offer a general consultancy service. Relevant experience in coordinating or advising on construction requirements within an occupied or sale-related property context would strengthen a supplier’s position. The successful supplier is a large organisation based in Madrid, indicating that capacity to deliver the full requirement and established local capability may be important. Businesses with Spanish delivery capability and experience supporting public-sector property projects should monitor this buyer’s related requirements.
