UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is procuring a marketing and event management framework to support its programmes across Kazakhstan. The requirement covers local support for developing and delivering high-quality, engaging and impactful marketing and communication activities through online and offline channels. This is a services opportunity for organisations able to provide marketing services, marketing management consultancy and related advertising and communications support. Work is to be delivered in Kazakhstan for British Council activities there. The framework is intended to support a wide range of programmes rather than a single campaign, so relevant suppliers are likely to be those offering coordinated marketing, communications and event management services in the Kazakhstan market.

The process has reached tender: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. This is a single-lot procurement. Questions could be submitted by 12 August 2026 at 13:00 UTC, and offers were due by 24 August 2026 at 13:00 UTC. Electronic submission was allowed through the British Council supplier system. The estimated value is £178,000 excluding VAT and £206,480 including VAT. The contract period is 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2028, with an optional one-year extension to 20 September 2029. Evaluation is based on quality and methodology, weighted at 60%, and commercial terms, weighted at 40%. The framework is subject to renewal through the stated optional extension.

This opportunity suits marketing, communications and event management businesses with the capability to provide local support across Kazakhstan. Strong candidates will be able to develop and deliver engaging campaigns and activities across both digital and physical channels, while adapting their approach to a wide range of British Council programmes. The requirement is relevant to agencies, marketing management consultancies and integrated communications providers with experience coordinating high-quality, impactful work for an institutional or public-facing client. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate a dependable delivery team, practical campaign management and the ability to support activity from development through delivery. Local market knowledge and the capacity to work across varied programmes would be commercially useful.
