This initiative falls under the services industry and is located in London, United Kingdom, specifically at 1 Redman Place, Stratford. The open procedure procurement method allows interested parties to engage in this process, which is active and published on 28th June 2022. The deadline for expressions of interest in this RFI is 8th July 2022, with the contract period envisaged to commence from 9th July 2022 until 10th July 2022. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses, especially those specializing in procurement software and project management solutions. Companies capable of providing innovative automation and user-friendly systems that cater to the entire procurement lifecycle will be well-positioned to compete. The tender invites small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to participate, which can lead to enhanced visibility and potential partnerships, ultimately contributing to business growth in this competitive sector. ## Notice The British Council is currently seeking market intelligence on systems to efficiently manage the end-to-end procurement lifecycle which would in turn provide visibility and support informed decisions, whilst providing control & compliance. Automation and user experience are key to help drive adoption and maximise opportunities. At this stage we are not looking for a detailed plan or delivery proposal as this will be requested at the Request for Proposal/Invitation to Tender stage (if any). However, it would be helpful if you could also provide an indicative estimate of cost (not a quotation) and likely timescales required to deliver the project described above.
