UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is seeking a supplier for graphic design, printing and production services supporting its operations in Poland. The work includes designing and producing leaflets, brochures, banners, roll-up displays, posters, branded materials, promotional gadgets and other marketing and operational materials. Requests will come from several British Council departments, including Marketing, Arts, Exams, Cultural Engagement and Facilities, with other teams potentially involved. The requirement also covers further ad hoc design and production work during the contract. This is a services opportunity for businesses able to combine creative graphic design with the physical production of printed, branded and promotional materials. Delivery and performance will be in Poland, supporting British Council Poland’s ongoing organisational needs across multiple departments and activities.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 28 August 2026 at 20:59 UTC, and offers by 15 September 2026 at 20:59 UTC. It covers one lot. The contract is scheduled to run from 7 October 2026 to 6 October 2028, with two optional one-year extensions, allowing a maximum end date of 5 October 2030. Its estimated value is PLN 442,000 excluding tax, or PLN 543,660 including tax. Electronic submission is allowed. Offers will be evaluated on the best overall score out of 100. Suppliers submit through the British Council’s MyProcurement system.

This opportunity suits a supplier with in-house or coordinated capability across graphic design, artwork preparation, print production and branded promotional materials. Relevant experience would include producing a varied range of business and marketing outputs, such as brochures, leaflets, posters, banners, roll-ups, promotional gadgets and other operational materials. The requirement is likely to favour businesses that can manage requests from several departments, maintain consistent branding, and deliver both planned work and ad hoc assignments. Suppliers should be able to support an organisation’s ongoing needs in Poland over a multi-year period, handling different types and volumes of work as requests arise. It may suit an established design-and-production agency, commercial printer with design capability, or a collaborative supplier partnership.
