## Summary

The British Council is seeking a single supplier to provide catering services for its English and School Education programmes across Morocco. The requirement covers catering support for conferences, training events and similar programme activities, classified as event services. Delivery is required nationwide across Morocco, including all 12 regions. The buyer is the British Council, a public authority based in London. This opportunity will suit catering and event-services businesses able to organise and deliver food services across a geographically dispersed country, rather than suppliers focused only on a single venue or locality. The appointed supplier will support the British Council’s education and English-language programme activity through the provision of catering services and associated logistical delivery.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the British Council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer is 20 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the award decision is due by 1 October 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC. The estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT, or £480,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 13 October 2026 to 11 October 2028, with a maximum possible end date of 9 October 2030. The buyer may renew the arrangement through two additional 12-month periods. Electronic submissions in English are allowed. Evaluation is based on price at 40%, nationwide delivery capacity at 20%, relevant experience at 20%, food safety and service approach at 10%, and social value at 10%.

This opportunity is suited to an established catering provider with the operational scale and logistics to serve every region of Morocco. Bidders need to demonstrate capacity to deliver nationwide, including the systems, distribution arrangements and local coordination required for consistent service across a large geographic area. Relevant experience must include catering for conferences, training events and comparable programmes. The evaluation also examines quality assurance, food safety standards and the proposed approach to service delivery, so suppliers should be able to evidence robust controls and reliable operating procedures. Commercial competitiveness matters, with price carrying the largest single evaluation weighting. Organisations with a credible social-value offer can gain additional evaluation credit, while the requirement for one supplier favours businesses able to manage the full national service rather than only a regional portion.
