UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is procuring internet connectivity services for its computer laboratories in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The requirement is for an internet service provider to supply and support the connections needed for the laboratories’ operation. This is a services contract focused on telecommunications and internet access rather than equipment, construction or general IT consultancy. The work will be delivered in Riyadh for the British Council. Suppliers whose core business is providing business-grade internet services, connectivity and associated service support in Saudi Arabia are the natural fit. The procurement covers one requirement and is being bought directly by the British Council, a public authority. The relevant classification is CPV 72400000, covering internet services.

The procurement has reached tender: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Supplier enquiries had to be submitted by 9 September 2026 at 11:00, and tenders by 16 September 2026 at 15:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 30 September 2026 to 30 September 2028, with an option to extend for a further two years, potentially until 30 September 2030. Its estimated gross value is £80,000. Electronic submission is allowed. The award basis is 100% commercial, so the decision is based entirely on the commercial offer. This is a single-lot procurement. Suppliers are required to register through the British Council’s MyProcurement system to access and submit their response.

This opportunity suits internet service providers and telecommunications companies able to deliver reliable connectivity to computer laboratories in Riyadh. Relevant suppliers are likely to have an established Saudi Arabian service operation, suitable network infrastructure and the capacity to provide business internet services for the full contract period, including any extension. Experience supporting institutional, educational or multi-site computer-lab environments would be commercially relevant because service continuity and dependable performance are central to the requirement. The tender is particularly suited to providers that can offer a competitive commercial package, since the award basis is entirely commercial. Businesses must also be able to register with the British Council’s MyProcurement system and prepare an electronic tender response.
