## Summary

The British Council was seeking to implement a procurement process titled "YM38TVET122025 - Networking for Centre of Excellence - TVET", intended to establish Centres of Excellence in Peshawar and six satellite institutes in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. This initiative was a component of the TVET Sector Support Programme co-implemented by the European Union. The project aimed to equip these centres with digital and high-tech equipment, including network infrastructure and interactive classroom systems. Although the tender commenced with an active status, it was ultimately cancelled by the British Council on 30th January 2026, as reflected in their authority to terminate under the given tender terms. The procurement process was initially marked as open and competitive, with an anticipated contract period starting from 15th January 2026, lasting for three years with possible extensions.

Companies in the IT and educational tech sectors would have found this tender particularly appealing due to its focus on high-tech equipment and network systems.
