UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured partner testing point services for IELTS on Computer test sessions in Montréal, Québec, Canada. The requirement is to provide a local testing point where IELTS computer-based examinations can be delivered. It is classified as a service involving non-residential property renting or leasing, indicating that suitable premises are central to the arrangement. The buyer is the British Council, a public authority responsible for the requirement. The selected delivery location is Montréal, in Canada. This opportunity is relevant to organisations that can provide an appropriate local venue and support the operation of computer-based IELTS testing sessions. It is specifically focused on a partner testing point rather than general language teaching, examination software, or unrelated property services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a single lot. The British Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. Academie Linguitique Charlegmane inc, based in Montréal, was selected as supplier, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 23 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2030. Its gross value is £153,418. The award covers the partner testing point service for IELTS on Computer sessions in Montréal. The available outcome information identifies the service scope, direct-award route and successful supplier; no separate competitive evaluation weighting is recorded. The arrangement therefore represents an established four-year requirement rather than an open procurement for responses.

This award shows an established British Council requirement for a Montréal-based partner testing point supporting IELTS on Computer delivery. The selected supplier is a large language academy, so organisations operating at a comparable scale, or with equivalent local delivery capacity, are the closest commercial peers. A credible future competitor would need suitable non-residential premises in Montréal and the operational ability to support scheduled computer-based IELTS test sessions in partnership with the British Council. Experience in language assessment or examination delivery would be relevant to demonstrating fit with this requirement, while reliable venue management and the capacity to sustain the service over a multi-year arrangement would strengthen a supplier’s position. The opportunity is therefore most relevant to testing centres, language schools and venue operators with established Montréal operations.
