Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured venue and event organisation services for the AELLCA Programme in Kyrgyzstan. The requirement covers event services associated with programme delivery, with activity taking place in Kyrgyzstan. The buyer is the British Council, a public authority based in London. This is a services procurement rather than a goods supply or construction project. The requirement was arranged as a single package covering the programme’s venue and event organisation needs. Suppliers relevant to this opportunity would be organisations able to plan and deliver events locally, manage venues and coordinate the practical arrangements required for successful programme activities in Kyrgyzstan. The named requirement is WE_1451 – AELLCA Programme – Kyrgyzstan, with the procurement reference RFQ1034975 – Venue and Event Organisation Services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected: Homeland LLC of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 1 August 2027. Its gross value is USD 45,798. The agreement can be renewed by mutual agreement for up to three further one-year periods, giving a maximum possible end date of 1 August 2030. The award covers event services and relates to the single procurement package. The published outcome records the contract as active. The process used a limited procurement method, rather than an open competition, and the contracting route was described as below-threshold limited competition.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that the British Council has a recurring need for locally delivered venue and event organisation services in Kyrgyzstan. A credible future competitor would need to show reliable access to suitable venues, practical event planning and delivery capability, and the ability to coordinate suppliers, logistics and on-the-ground operations in Bishkek or elsewhere in the country as required. Experience supporting international, educational or cultural programmes would help demonstrate an understanding of the operating environment, although the published requirement does not identify specific accreditations or technical qualifications. The successful supplier is a large organisation based in Bishkek, indicating the value of local presence, capacity and established delivery relationships for this type of British Council programme work.
