## Summary

The British Council, a public authority under sub-central government, is managing the procurement process for the "British Council Coventry Cat A+ / Cat B Fit-Out" project. This initiative involves transforming a former IKEA store in Coventry City Centre into a multi-tenanted facility for the British Council Collection and its partners, such as the Arts Council Collection and Culture Coventry Trust. Being in the 'Tender' stage, the selective procurement calls for a competitive procedure where the expression of interest deadline is set for 3rd July 2026, with the contract award period aiming to end by 23rd September 2026. This project falls under the 'works' category within the construction sector, and the main industry classifications include building installation work and construction work for commercial and industrial buildings. The project, scheduled to commence on 5th October 2026, holds a gross value of £216,000.

This tender offers a substantial opportunity for businesses within the construction and building installation sectors, particularly those with expertise in commercial fit-outs and infrastructure adaptations. The competitive flexible procedure allows businesses to showcase their methodology and pricing strategies, with a weighting of 60% and 40% respectively. The project is well-suited to companies capable of delivering high-quality, innovative solutions under a flexible procurement model that includes participation and NDA stages. Suppliers can self-register via the British Council’s MyProcurement platform to engage in this dynamic opportunity, thus expanding their portfolio and potential client base through a prestigious project with international outreach implications.
