This procurement falls under the services category and is classified under several CPV codes, including relocation services. The tender process is open, with submissions accepted until 2nd September 2019. The contract period is set to begin on 1st November 2019 and will last until 1st November 2022. Bidders are required to register on the British Council's e-Tendering portal to participate in this opportunity. This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in relocation services, immigration support, and technology development related to global mobility. Businesses that are well-suited to compete include small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate their capabilities in these areas, as well as those with experience in managing large-scale relocation processes. With an anticipated rise in the number of mobile employees, potential suppliers should be prepared to offer innovative solutions to meet the British Council's evolving needs over the next few years. ## Notice The British Council would like suppliers to tender for: 4.1 Lot 1 - Global Relocation Services including shipping; and/or 4.2 Lot 2 - Global Immigration Services; and/or 4.3 Lot 3 - In-house Global Mobility Technology The British Council is looking for providers to work in partnership with central and local teams to provide these services. The British Council creates international opportunities for the people of the UK and other countries and builds trust between them worldwide. We achieve this purpose through our work in the following three core areas (also called Strategic Business Units): Education and Society, English & Exams (E&E), Arts To do this, we have offices in over 100 countries and territories around the world, which are structured into eight regions and has six business support teams. We expect the total number of mobile employees managed by the UK team will rise to include permanent relocations so that this will be up to 700 over the next 18 months and up to 1200-1500 in the next three to four years. It is also proposed that the mobility team structure could change to a tri-regional hub model during this time. Additional information: Bidders should register on the British Council's e-Tendering portal In-Tend (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/britishcouncil/aspx/Home) in order to take part in the tenderprocess. Once registered, bidders must log-in to the website where they can view the project and access the bidders pack and submit their return. Bidders will also be required to demonstrate their capability and 'means of proof' will be required. These conditions are outlined in the ITT. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d17c0c4a-d0f4-45b9-b2b2-97ed231554b5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | 2 Sep 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2019 - 1 Nov 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,610,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRITISH COUNCIL(THE) | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 6BB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Piccadilly | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 22 - Printed matter and related products - 48 - Software package and information systems - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 22456000 - Permits - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 79613000 - Employee relocation services - 98392000 - Relocation services ## Release History - 31 Jul 2019 at 10:01 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d17c0c4a-d0f4-45b9-b2b2-97ed231554b5 - 30 Jul 2019 at 15:53 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d17c0c4a-d0f4-45b9-b2b2-97ed231554b5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d17c0c4a-d0f4-45b9-b2b2-97ed231554b5 31st July 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/britishcouncil/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
