Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is procuring services from one implementing partner to deliver the Youth Ambassador Programme for its E-Governance project in Bangladesh. The work covers district-level delivery across Kushtia, Nilphamari and Bagerhat. The successful partner will manage open recruitment and selection administration, organise foundation training, provide youth mentoring and support community activities. It will also undertake monitoring, safeguarding, communications, district coordination, learning activities and project close-out. This is a social and community programme delivery requirement, with event services as the associated classification. It is intended for an organisation able to coordinate activity across several districts and work directly with young people, communities and local stakeholders in Bangladesh.

The procurement has reached tender: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 20 August 2026 at 11:00 UTC, and tender submissions were due by 31 August 2026 at 11:00 UTC. Electronic submission was allowed through the British Council’s supplier procurement system. There is one lot, with an estimated value of £100,000 excluding VAT (£115,000 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 25 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a possible extension to 31 January 2028 by mutual agreement. Evaluation is weighted 60% technical and 40% commercial. The contract is for one implementing partner.

This opportunity suits a Civil Society Organisation registered in Bangladesh, and bidders must provide the relevant registration certificate with their proposal. Strong candidates will have practical experience delivering youth, community or civic programmes across multiple districts, including recruitment, participant selection, training logistics, mentoring and community engagement. The requirement also favours organisations able to provide reliable safeguarding, monitoring and reporting, public-facing communications, coordination with district stakeholders, learning activity and orderly close-out. Suppliers need sufficient operational capacity to manage activity in Kushtia, Nilphamari and Bagerhat during the delivery period, while maintaining consistent standards across locations. Experience working with young people and supporting e-governance or related community-development objectives would be directly relevant.
