## Summary

The British Council is currently in the tender stage of procuring consultancy services for its UK_1003 Global Evaluation Framework Retender 2026. This framework aims to replace the expiring 2022 Global Evaluation Framework, serving as the primary procurement route for monitoring and evaluation consultancy work across the Council's global operations. Submissions for this tender, conducted through an open procedure, are due by 18 May 2026, with the deadline for enquiries closing on 17 April 2026. The project is categorised under evaluation consultancy services and is open to suppliers globally, but with a focus on delivery within the United Kingdom. The total estimated value for the entire framework amounts to £14,400,000 GBP. The British Council, a sub-central government authority based in London, is overseeing this procurement.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in evaluation consultancy services, particularly those capable of delivering quality assurance and technical expertise, or evidence and evaluation consultancy, as defined in the two active lot offerings. With specific award criteria focusing 60% on non-commercial scoring and 40% on commercial scoring, this tender is well-suited to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that can fulfill these criteria. With provisions for contract renewal up to 2032, businesses have the potential to secure long-term growth through collaborating with the British Council's global operations. Competitive participation is encouraged with the ability for each supplier to bid and be awarded a maximum of one lot.
