UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is seeking an e-invoicing middleware solution for its operations in the Philippines. The requirement covers supplying, implementing, configuring, supporting and maintaining software that integrates with the Philippine Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and supports compliance with forthcoming Philippine e-invoicing and e-reporting requirements. The work is a computer-related professional service and will be delivered in the Philippines. Suppliers should be able to provide a complete middleware solution rather than software alone, including implementation and configuration services, ongoing technical support and maintenance. The buyer is the British Council, with the requirement intended to support its Philippine operations and regulatory obligations.

The procurement has reached tender: the British Council invited proposals through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 10 September 2026 at 09:00 UTC, and offers were due by 15 September 2026 at 09:00 UTC, with electronic submission allowed. The single lot has a gross estimated value of £53,000. The contract is scheduled to run from 3 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with one optional renewal year extending the maximum period to 31 October 2030. Evaluation gives 60% to technical and methodology quality and 40% to price. The weighting was amended, with the change applying only to the evaluation percentages and not to the other requirements or conditions.

This opportunity suits software providers and specialist technology consultancies with experience delivering e-invoicing or e-reporting middleware, integrating business systems with tax authorities, and supporting regulatory compliance in the Philippines. Strong candidates will be able to manage the full service lifecycle: solution provision, technical implementation, configuration, operational support and maintenance. The evaluation places greater emphasis on technical and methodological quality than price, so suppliers should be able to present a clear delivery approach and demonstrate how their solution will support BIR integration and the relevant Philippine compliance requirements. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and may suit an established specialist provider with the capacity to support a multi-year implementation and service arrangement.
