## Summary

The British Council has completed the 'Future of English exhibition' project with a total value of £2,000,000. The project involved advertising services and was procured using a selective method with a tender period ending on January 3, 2023. The contract period spans from January 16, 2023, to January 15, 2024. The project was awarded to Factory 42 Limited, a large-scale supplier based in the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses in the advertising industry, particularly those experienced in delivering impactful and immersive creative concepts. Given the scale of the project and the strategic importance placed on showcasing it internationally, businesses with a track record in organising large-scale events and exhibitions, as well as expertise in marketing programmes over an extended period, would be well-suited to compete for future similar opportunities.

## Notice

Project to enable significant output for the Future of English Programme. We seek to identify the key opportunities and areas of interest to reinforce the British Councils authority on the role and status of the English language internationally through cultural relations, building relationships with policy makers and influencers, and driving improvements in English language teaching, learning & assessment. It is then strategically important that we gain the exposure and full return on investment from the research project that we showcase it in an engaging and impactful format through a series of events and exhibitions at British Council offices and FCDO/embassy premises around the world. The concept will also inform the strategic direction for the broader and ongoing marketing for the programme (through a planned 3 year period). The Future of English exhibition project consists of two steps: 1. An impactful and immersive creative concept and plan for implementation 2. Development and implementation
