## Summary

The British Council is seeking proposals for an "Internal Communications Tool" as part of their tender process, identified by the code BC/01096. This procurement falls under the services category and is classified as an industry-specific software package. The tender is currently active, with submissions due by 20th November 2019. The successful tool will support around 20 internal communications personnel across various global locations, facilitating communication with approximately 12,000 employees spread across over 110 countries. The procurement method is a direct single tender action, which is applicable as it falls below the threshold.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for software vendors, particularly those specialising in internal communications tools and services. Companies that can provide innovative and measurable solutions to enhance internal messaging, user engagement, and brand consistency will be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find this tender especially accessible, given the nature of the procurement method, which encourages participation from smaller firms capable of delivering tailored communications solutions.

## Notice

The internal communications team has identified a need for a new tool to improve the quality and consistency of our internal emails, newsletters and online magazine, which are currently designed and delivered using a variety of different technologies not designed for internal communications use. We need communications to be consistent, engaging, accessible and on brand - and critically they must be measurable beyond open rates. It will need to complement our existing digital internal communication channels (SharePoint intranet and Office 365). The tool will be used by internal communications teams, approximately 20 users in several regions around the world, to communicate with approximately 12,000 employees in over 110 countries. Please note that this is not a requirement for intranet technology (we have a separate intranet based on SharePoint). Additional information: If you wish to take part in this procurement or view the requirements. Please register using the link and express an interest for this project.
