The British Council is conducting a tender for the "Global _ Exams _ Distribution Exams Delivery - Globally Jun20 to Jun22" initiative, which falls under the education and training services industry. This procurement process is currently in the award stage, with key activities having taken place earlier in 2021. The tender opened on March 2021 and closed on May 10, 2021. Suppliers were invited to provide venue capacity and test day services for high-stakes exams across various countries, necessitating a bid for at least two locations.
