## Summary

The British Council is seeking one supplier in Kuwait to provide warehouse storage and labour services for its examination operations. The requirement covers storage of examination materials, furniture and equipment in warehouses located in Kuwait, together with the labour needed to manage these stored items. The service supports the British Council’s delivery of UK qualifications and English-language examinations, including IELTS. This is a services opportunity for a warehouse operator, logistics provider or facilities services business able to provide suitable storage premises and a workforce in Kuwait. The supplier will be responsible for meeting the combined storage and labour requirement rather than delivering separate goods or construction works.

The procurement has reached tender: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is one lot with an estimated value of £130,000 excluding VAT, or £140,000 including VAT. Questions had to be submitted by 17 August 2026 at 22:00 UTC, and offers by 31 August 2026 at 15:00 UTC. Electronic submission was allowed. The intended contract period is 21 October 2026 to 20 October 2028, with an option to extend for up to a further two years, to 20 October 2030. The award will be evaluated using criteria set out in the request for proposals document.

This opportunity suits a Kuwait-based warehouse, storage or logistics business that can provide premises for examination materials, furniture and equipment and supply the labour required to handle and manage them. It is particularly relevant to operators able to take single-supplier responsibility for both storage facilities and associated personnel, rather than businesses offering transport alone or storage without operational labour. The requirement may also suit facilities management providers with an established local workforce and the capacity to support the British Council’s examination operations over the initial service period and any extension. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate that their facilities, staffing arrangements and operating capability can meet the request for proposals requirements.
