## Summary

The British Council, a public authority operating under the sub-central government of the UK, has initiated a tender for outsourcing services related to the recruitment, verification, and payroll management of non-permanent workers in Sri Lanka. The services will include managing exam venue staff and hourly-paid teachers across several cities in Sri Lanka, as well as the Maldives. The procurement process, currently at the tender stage, is guided by the UK Public Procurement Act 2023 and follows a selective competitive flexible procedure. The contract, valued at £1,327,118 (gross), is open for expressions of interest until 1st September 2026, with the planned awarding by 8th October 2026.

This procurement is an excellent opportunity for businesses in the personnel supply industry, especially those with experience in HR outsourcing and payroll management. Companies with a strong track record in Sri Lankan HR projects, technological and financial capabilities, and those that can demonstrate social value by enhancing skills and employment opportunities are well-suited to compete. The British Council's requirements include ensuring compliance with service standards and maintaining quality, which presents growth prospects for businesses ready to expand their footprint in managing large-scale workforce contracts in international settings, particularly in educational contexts. The contract extends over two years, with a potential renewal option, providing a stable, long-term partnership opportunity.

## Notice

The British Council in Sri Lanka is inviting reputable and experienced outsourcing services providing vendors to submit tenders for providing verification and payroll management of various categories of Non-Permanent Workers (NPW) through an employee placement agency who has experience in providing end to end staffing solutions and management of payroll for Exam venue staffs and Teachers for the British Council Sri Lanka. The British Council Sri Lanka facilitates a comprehensive array of UK qualifications throughout Sri Lanka via our offices in Colombo, Kandy, and Jaffna, as well as in the Maldives. We administer exams in several cities across Sri Lanka and in Male, Maldives, totalling approximately 100,000 exams annually. Also, we have Teaching Centres in all Colombo, Kandy, Jaffna & Matara Branch offices with a total number of teachers counting to over 75. To deliver these exams, we require about 500 exams venue staffs and examiners in Sri Lanka, including Chief Supervisors, Assistant Supervisors, Invigilators, Marshals, Temporary Back-office Staff, and Examiners. Given the scale of these contractual relationships and payroll activities, which extend beyond the core responsibilities of our specialized exams delivery team, we have outsourced the management and payment of venue staff and hourly paid teachers' contracts, verification and Payroll management of Exams venue staffs and Teachers. We can handover the existing pool of venue staffs and teachers so that the vendor needs to manage the payroll only on monthly basis and in such scenario, there will be no payment for recruitment and verification.
