Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is seeking a programme of country-level evaluations for its Going Global Partnerships Programme. The work is classified as financial consultancy services and is intended to evaluate the programme across countries. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a services requirement, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The evaluation programme is the central deliverable, giving relevant suppliers a clear focus: designing and carrying out country-level assessments of an international partnerships programme for the British Council.

The buyer invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. The enquiry deadline was 16 October 2026 at 21:55 UK time, and the bid deadline was 26 October 2026 at 22:55 UK time. The contract period is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2029. The estimated value is £166,666 excluding VAT, or £200,000 including VAT. There is one lot. The contract is to be awarded to the offer with the best overall score; the published criteria do not explain how that score is weighted.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers with the capability to plan and deliver country-level evaluations of programmes, alongside relevant financial consultancy expertise. The work calls for a supplier able to undertake a programme of evaluations for the Going Global Partnerships Programme across multiple countries and maintain delivery over the contract period. Evaluation consultancies and financial advisory firms with suitable programme-evaluation experience are likely to find the requirement relevant. The stated scope gives a clear basis for assessing fit: suppliers should be able to deliver the country evaluations themselves, rather than provide unrelated general consultancy. No particular accreditation or named technical qualification forms part of the stated requirement.
