## Summary

The British Council, a public authority operating at the sub-central government level in the United Kingdom, had initiated a tender for "WE 748 Research and Insight Services Western Balkans." The procurement process, which was initially in the tender stage, aimed to conduct research regarding youth perceptions of media trust in the Western Balkans. The project was planned to engage the community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, contributing to existing programming in the region. The procurement, under the legal basis of the UK Public General Acts 2023/54, was structured as an open competition with a maximum budget value of £40,800. Initially set to conclude by 23 July 2025, the tender later faced cancellation due to budget revisions announced on 1 July 2025.

This tender process presented opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in social, cultural, and media studies, to expand their portfolio in international markets. The project, focusing on the influential demographic of youth aged 18 to 30, would have suited organisations adept in conducting large-scale surveys and cultural insights. Although the process is now cancelled, entities with such expertise may find future opportunities appealing, should the tender be re-announced, allowing them to leverage their skills and establish significant collaborations in the Balkans region.

## Notice

Through this research we aim to understand youth ages 18 to 30 perceptions of media trust and solutions to misinformation and disinformation in the Western Balkans. This builds on existing British Council programming and partnerships in the region as well as our longstanding interest in research on youth perceptions globally through our Next Generation programme. Next Generation is a research programme that gathers data to explore the needs, potential and aspirations of young people globally aged between 16 and 35. This includes data on what sources young people use to access information and levels of trust in different media.
