UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Council procured event management services for the Annual IELTS Partner Meet 2027. The requirement was to organise the annual gathering of IELTS partners in Bangladesh. The procurement was managed by the British Council, and the invitation described the buying entity as BC Services Bangladesh Limited. The selected service was event management rather than the purchase of goods or construction work. The event supports the British Council’s IELTS partner activity; the published description does not set out further operational tasks or a venue. This is a buyer-specific requirement for suppliers able to deliver an organised partner event in the Bangladesh context.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to DOT BIRTH LTD. It used a limited competition below the applicable threshold, with one lot. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and runs from 15 October 2026 to 14 March 2027. Its gross value is £55,687.16. The award is active, as is the contract. No separate award date or evaluation criteria are provided in the process data, so the basis on which quotations were assessed is not stated. The invitation sought quotations from qualified and experienced suppliers. The selected supplier is based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows that the British Council buys event management to support its IELTS partner network in Bangladesh, using a limited competition for a single, defined event requirement. A credible competitor would need demonstrable experience organising professional partner gatherings and the capacity to coordinate event delivery in Bangladesh. The invitation expressly called for qualified and experienced suppliers, so relevant event-management credentials and evidence of successful delivery would matter. Local operating knowledge and the ability to manage the practical arrangements for a partner event would also be commercially relevant. This is a focused opportunity for event companies able to serve the British Council’s Bangladesh activity, rather than a general demand for unrelated marketing or consultancy services.
