UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is seeking evaluation services to assess the impact of its CPF digital project pilot. The work is research and development consultancy, focused on evaluating the pilot’s effects. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement is presented as one lot within a closed Global Evaluation Framework 2026, through which participating suppliers compete when work is reopened. The British Council is the buyer. This opportunity is therefore relevant to consultancies and research organisations able to design and carry out an evaluation of a digital project pilot and report on its impact. The procurement concerns professional services rather than the supply of equipment or construction work.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. This is a tender-stage procurement. The deadline for questions was 19 October 2026 at 09:00 UTC, and the bid submission deadline was 30 October 2026 at 10:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 7 November 2026 to 15 March 2027. The stated lot value is £20,833 excluding VAT and £25,000 including VAT. There is one lot. The award goes to the supplier achieving the highest score. Electronic submission was allowed through the British Council’s MyProcurement supplier registration and tender platform. The work is part of the closed Global Evaluation Framework 2026, with competition reopened for this requirement.

This requirement suits suppliers with practical expertise in evaluating digital project pilots and assessing their impact. Relevant competitors are likely to be research and evaluation consultancies able to plan and deliver a focused evaluation, gather and analyse evidence, and present clear findings about a pilot’s effects. The single-lot scope and defined project period point to a bounded professional-services assignment rather than a large, multi-site delivery programme. Suppliers should be comfortable competing through a framework call-off process in which the work is reopened to eligible framework participants. The stated basis for selection is the highest score, so bidders need to address the evaluation requirements convincingly and demonstrate the capability to deliver the work. The procurement is suitable for firms whose core business includes research and development consultancy.
