## Summary

The British Council has initiated a procurement process for an open framework to secure both paper-based and computer-based exam venues across various locations in South Africa, including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Durban, and Cape Town. The procurement falls under the category of services, specifically focusing on hotel meeting and conference services. Conducted as an open procedure, this tender has been awarded, with the award notice published on 18th September 2025. The contract period is set to start on 1st November 2025 and extend until 31st October 2029, with a possible extension of up to twelve months post-readiness audit.

This tender provides substantial opportunity for business growth, particularly for larger venues that can offer the necessary infrastructure and facilities. The British Council's requirement for exam venues in educational settings—such as schools, colleges, institutes, and universities—across major cities in South Africa may suit businesses in the educational and conferencing industry. The open procurement method and award criteria, which balance quality and cost, create an inclusive opportunity for potential suppliers to enhance their business profile by becoming preferred venues for high-stakes exams. Suppliers emphasising quality and diverse service offerings will likely find this tender advantageous.
