Summary of the contracting process

The British Council is procuring event organisation services for its Study UK Education Week 2026 programme in Viet Nam. The work centres on a four-day hybrid event, combining online and in-person activities for education agents, UK institutions and students across the country. The programme is intended to strengthen Viet Nam’s UK education ecosystem by improving education agents’ capacity and the quality of their work, raising awareness among students and parents of UK study opportunities, and building lasting partnerships between UK institutions, Vietnamese stakeholders and transnational education providers. It also supports ethical recruitment and promotes UK education in relation to Viet Nam’s skills and workforce needs. The service falls under fair and exhibition organisation (CPV 79956000).

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to INDOCHINA HERITAGE TRAVEL SERVICES COMPANY LIMITED. The British Council signed an active contract on 20 October 2026, running from 20 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its stated gross value is VND 1,569,169,800. The process was described as below threshold; the procurement method is recorded as unknown. The requirement was grouped into one lot, which is complete. The award is active and covers event organisation services. The available process information does not describe an evaluation formula or specific eligibility requirements.

For suppliers competing for similar British Council work in Viet Nam, this award indicates demand for practical event delivery that can bring together education agents, UK institutions, students and parents through a hybrid format. Credible providers would need to organise both online and in-person activity and understand the needs of education-sector audiences and cross-border partnerships. Experience supporting education events, building participation among local stakeholders, and coordinating with UK institutions and transnational education providers would be relevant. The programme’s emphasis on agent capacity, ethical recruitment and promoting UK study suggests that suppliers should be able to deliver events aligned with those aims, rather than simply provide general event logistics. The selected provider is a large travel services company, demonstrating that an established supplier with capacity to coordinate event services was chosen.
