UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured legal documentation and certification services for educational documents in Greece. The work covers editing and certifying documents translated from English into Greek, and certifying true copies of translated documents. The requirement is for a supplier with a valid Greek lawyers licence. The British Council is the buying organisation; the services are delivered in Greece. This is a specialist legal-services requirement centred on the accuracy and formal certification of translated educational records, rather than general translation alone.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. EVGENIA KAMPOUKOU was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026, with a start date of 1 October 2026 and an end date of 30 September 2029; it allows three possible annual extensions, up to 30 September 2032. The contract value is £135,484 excluding VAT (£168,000 including VAT). The British Council used an open competition below the applicable threshold. The evaluation weighting was 60% quality and 40% commercial considerations. The requirement was organised as one lot and was marked suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

For legal practitioners and firms serving the Greek education market, this award demonstrates demand for licensed legal expertise combined with reliable document handling. A credible competitor would need a valid Greek lawyers licence, the ability to edit English-to-Greek translations, and the legal authority and processes to certify translations and true copies. Strong quality controls, careful handling of educational documents and dependable delivery would matter, as quality carried more evaluation weight than price. The contract was awarded to an individual supplier classified as an SME, and the opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that this specialist requirement did not depend on a large corporate provider. Suppliers should be able to deliver a sustained service to the British Council in Greece.
