UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is buying translation and interpretation services for its Uzbekistan operation. The requirement covers both written translation and spoken interpretation, intended to support the British Council’s activities in Uzbekistan. This is a language services contract delivered in Uzbekistan, suitable for providers that can supply both translation and interpreting capability. The buying organisation is the British Council, a public authority. Suppliers should consider whether they can provide reliable language professionals and manage service delivery in Uzbekistan. The procurement is categorised as services, with the relevant service classifications being translation services (CPV 79530000) and interpretation services (CPV 79540000).

The procurement has reached tender: the British Council invited suppliers to submit proposals through an open, below-threshold competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 18 August 2026 at 11:30 UK time, and offers had to be submitted electronically by 24 August 2026 at 19:29 UK time. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2028, with provision for three annual extensions, potentially extending the term to 1 September 2031. Its maximum gross value is £50,000. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on commercial considerations weighted at 40%, quality at 30% and methodology at 30%.

This opportunity suits qualified and experienced translation and interpretation providers able to support the British Council’s Uzbekistan operation. Businesses should be capable of delivering both written translation and spoken interpretation rather than only one of these services. The requirement is likely to favour suppliers with established language-service teams, dependable quality controls and the operational capacity to manage assignments over a multi-year service period, including possible extensions. Experience of working with institutional or international organisations would be relevant to demonstrating the required service maturity, although the procurement information specifically identifies qualification and experience rather than naming particular accreditations. Providers able to combine language expertise with clear delivery methods and commercially competitive proposals should consider competing.
