Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured all-in-one desktop computers for its operations in Qatar. The requirement covers the supply of desktop computer equipment meeting the specifications set out for the purchase, with the work and delivery associated with the British Council in Qatar. This is a goods procurement rather than a services or construction contract. The buyer is the British Council, a UK public authority that operates internationally. The selected supplier, Modern Home, is based in Doha, Qatar, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled through a supplier serving the local market. Businesses active in supplying business computers and related workplace IT equipment would be the closest fit for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the recorded method detail is “Below threshold - unknown”. One lot was awarded to Modern Home. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026, with an active contract period from 11 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is QAR 162,800 gross. The award is active and the contract is active. The award covers desktop computers under the all-in-one computer requirement. The contracting authority is the British Council, and the procurement was run for its Qatar operation. The published outcome therefore confirms both the selected supplier and the agreed contract value for this purchase.

For a supplier assessing future demand from this buyer, this procurement shows a defined requirement for business-grade all-in-one desktop computers in Qatar, with the technical specification forming the basis of the purchase. A credible competitor would need to source and supply desktop computers that match the buyer’s stated specification, manage delivery to the British Council’s Qatar operation and provide a quotation through the buyer’s below-threshold purchasing route. Modern Home is recorded as an SME supplier based in Doha, showing that the requirement can be served by a locally established small or medium-sized technology or office-equipment business. Relevant capability is therefore practical computer supply, specification compliance, local fulfilment and the capacity to support an organisational equipment purchase.
