## Summary

The British Council is procuring a new baggage scanner for installation at its premises in Kenya. The requirement covers supplying and installing the scanner, commissioning it and providing basic operator training. The existing baggage scanner will be replaced, so this is a complete equipment replacement and installation requirement rather than a standalone supply of equipment. The procurement is categorised as goods and concerns scanning equipment, with the classification referring to ultrasound scanners. Delivery and all associated installation activity will take place in Kenya. Suppliers that can provide suitable baggage-scanning equipment, manage installation and commissioning on site, and train basic operators will find the requirement relevant. The British Council is the buying organisation and will receive the equipment and associated services.

The process has reached tender: the British Council invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot procurement. The deadline for enquiries was 14 September 2026 at 18:30 UTC, and offers were due by 21 September 2026 at 18:30 UTC. The intended award decision date was 30 September 2026. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £32,000 excluding VAT and £34,000 including VAT. Award will be based on the most economical price, described as a competitive price. Offers may be submitted electronically in English. Supplier registration and tender submission are handled through the British Council’s MyProcurement system. The tender is above the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits suppliers specialising in baggage-security screening equipment and related installation services. Strong candidates will be able to identify and supply a suitable new scanner, remove or replace existing equipment where required, install it at the British Council’s Kenyan premises, commission it properly and provide basic operator training. The requirement is most relevant to businesses with the technical capability to deliver an end-to-end equipment replacement rather than simply resell a scanner. Experience of coordinating international delivery and on-site installation in Kenya would support performance, as would access to qualified engineers and staff able to train operators in English. Suppliers should be comfortable competing primarily on price and using the British Council’s electronic procurement system.
