This procurement, categorised under printing and related services with a budget of £15,000, is part of an open procedure that allows for any interested supplier to participate. The tender period closes on 21st November 2019, and the contract is set to begin on 2nd December 2019, lasting until 2nd December 2020, at venues across Venice, including the Arsenale and the Giardini di Castello. This opportunity is well-suited for businesses specialising in publishing or printing, particularly those with experience in producing exhibition catalogues or working within the arts and cultural sectors. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to compete, as this project involves collaboration with a prestigious institution like the British Council, potentially enhancing their portfolio and visibility in international cultural events. ## Notice We are now issuing an invitation to seek one Book Packager to work collaboratively with British Council to produce the Catalogue for the British Pavilion architectural commission in 2020. La Biennale di Venezia is one of the most prestigious cultural institutions in the world. Established in 1895, it receives over 500,000 visitors at the Art Biennale and more than 250,000 to the Architecture Biennale. The Biennale takes place in two official sites in Venice: the Arsenale, which hosts the international exhibition, and the Giardini di Castello in the east of the city, which houses the national pavilions including the British Pavilion. The British Council manages the British Pavilion and its exhibition programme. The British Council has published exhibition catalogues for previous British Pavilion commissions and worked with publishers on specific catalogues for both the Art and Architecture Biennale. Additional information: Bidders should register on the British Council's e-Tendering portal In-Tend (https://intendhost.co.uk/britishcouncil/aspx/Home) in order to take part in the tender process. 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 RFP. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06694ad4-9dfd-4c24-8464-26b6a8b92777 | | 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 | 1 Nov 2019 | | Submission deadline | 21 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Dec 2019 - 2 Dec 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000 | | 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 - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79800000 - Printing and related services ## Release History - 1 Nov 2019 at 16:35 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06694ad4-9dfd-4c24-8464-26b6a8b92777 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06694ad4-9dfd-4c24-8464-26b6a8b92777 1st November 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://intendhost.co.uk/britishcouncil/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
