Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is procuring end-to-end exhibition production and operational support for its Uzbekistan 30th Anniversary Exhibition in Tashkent. The requirement covers event services, including delivery of the exhibition and the associated operational support needed to run it. The work will be delivered in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. This is a services opportunity for an experienced exhibition delivery agency based in Uzbekistan, rather than a supply-only purchase or construction contract. The buyer is the British Council, a public authority operating at sub-central government level. The procurement is arranged as a single requirement covering the exhibition service as a whole, so suppliers should be able to coordinate production and operations rather than provide only one isolated event function.

The procurement has reached tender: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers can submit electronically through the British Council’s MyProcurement system. Offers were due by 13 August 2026 at 17:30 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027, with an extension period allowing up to two further one-month extensions; the maximum stated end date is 30 April 2027. The estimated contract value is £40,000 gross. The winning proposal will be the one achieving the highest percentage score out of 100 under the request for proposal evaluation methodology. The requirement is not divided into multiple lots and is below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits an exhibition delivery agency established in Uzbekistan with the capability to manage an event from production through to day-to-day operations. Suitable suppliers are likely to have practical experience delivering exhibitions or comparable public-facing events in Tashkent, coordinating suppliers and venues, managing installation and event logistics, and supporting operations throughout the delivery period. Local knowledge is commercially useful because the work is based in Uzbekistan and requires end-to-end coordination there. The requirement is most relevant to businesses able to take overall responsibility for delivery, maintain reliable operational capacity, and work to the British Council’s proposal and evaluation requirements. Agencies offering only a narrow specialist service may be less well placed unless they can lead or coordinate the wider exhibition delivery package.
