Summary of the contracting process

The British Council commissioned services for its UK-ASEAN 5th Anniversary Exhibition, titled “Advancing Together”. The requirement is classified as advertising and marketing services, indicating a communications and promotional focus for the exhibition. The buyer is the British Council, a public authority based in London. The procurement identifies the exhibition but gives no further description of the activities or delivery location, so the defined scope is limited to marketing and advertising services associated with this anniversary event.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The British Council used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Navig8. The award is for advertising and marketing services; the contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 2 March 2027. Its gross value is £42,109.20. The stated procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows that the British Council bought focused advertising and marketing support for an international anniversary exhibition through a limited competition. Businesses with experience promoting exhibitions or cultural and international events, and the ability to deliver campaign work for a public-sector client, are the closest fit when a similar requirement returns to market. The contract was awarded to a large supplier, indicating that the selected provider was able to take on the requirement at this scale. The published scope does not identify specific campaign channels, creative deliverables or accreditations, so suppliers should judge their relevance against the exhibition-marketing requirement rather than assume a broader communications brief.
