UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is procuring building works at its Napier Road office in Singapore. The requirement covers complete replacement of the fourth-floor air-conditioning system, which has reached the end of its operational lifespan, together with soundproofing works to improve working conditions. This is a single works package covering the office location in Singapore. The procurement is primarily classified as building construction work (CPV 45210000). Suppliers should therefore be able to deliver commercial building works in an occupied or operational office environment, combining mechanical services work for air-conditioning replacement with acoustic treatment or soundproofing. The buyer is the British Council, a public authority that operates the Napier Road office as one of its primary Singapore locations.

The process has reached tender: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The submission deadline set by the buyer is 12 August 2026 at 18:59 UTC, with electronic submission allowed. The single package has an estimated value of £40,000 excluding tax and £50,000 including tax. The planned contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 9 February 2027. Offers will be evaluated on quality and price, weighted 40% and 60% respectively. The quality response is requested through Annex 2 and the price response through Annex 3. Suppliers must register through the British Council’s MyProcurement system to self-register and access the public tender.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized building contractors with the capability to manage coordinated refurbishment works for a commercial office. Relevant suppliers are likely to include air-conditioning or mechanical-services specialists able to replace an end-of-life system, alongside contractors experienced in acoustic works and soundproofing. The requirement calls for the ability to plan and deliver both elements as one package, with suitable project management, site coordination and health and safety controls for work within a primary office location. Experience of working in Singapore and of delivering office, commercial or institutional refurbishment would help suppliers demonstrate a credible approach. The quality weighting means bidders should be able to explain their proposed methodology and delivery arrangements, while price remains the larger part of the evaluation.
