Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured education and training services to design, manage and deliver scholarship support for eligible participants undertaking the Diploma in Public Administration Programme. The programme is part of MyJustice Programme III, and the delivery location is Myanmar. The requirement combines scholarship administration with support for participants on a public administration diploma, rather than general education provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to the School of Governance and Public Administration in Thailand. The British Council used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 30 December 2027. Its value is USD 45,000. The procurement was organised as one lot. The available details identify eligible participants and the Diploma in Public Administration Programme as the scope, but provide no further evaluation criteria.

The award shows demand from the British Council for a supplier able to organise scholarship support linked to a public administration diploma in Myanmar. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to combine programme design and management with the practical capacity to support eligible learners through their studies. Experience delivering education or training services in Myanmar, and the ability to work with a diploma provider and administer scholarship arrangements, would be directly relevant. The selected supplier is based in Thailand, demonstrating that delivery is not limited to a provider located in Myanmar. The requirement is a focused, single-lot programme rather than a broad education contract, so suppliers with relevant regional delivery experience and capacity to manage a defined cohort are likely to be best placed.
