## Summary

The British Council is procuring a new baggage scanner for installation at its premises in Kenya. The requirement covers supply, installation, commissioning and basic operator training, replacing the existing baggage scanner. This is a goods procurement focused on security screening equipment, with the classification described as an ultrasound scanner. The work is delivered in Kenya and involves both the physical equipment and the associated installation and handover activities. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide a suitable baggage-scanning system and support its installation and commissioning on the British Council’s premises. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors, security-equipment integrators and specialist installation businesses with the capability to supply and support baggage-scanning equipment internationally.

The process reached tender: the British Council invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 14 September 2026 at 18:30 UTC, and offers had to be submitted by 21 September 2026 at 18:30 UTC. The award decision was due by 30 September 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £32,000 excluding tax, or £34,000 including tax. There is one lot. The award basis is the most economical, competitive price. Offers may be submitted electronically in English. The financial terms state payment within 30 days.

This opportunity suits suppliers with practical experience in baggage-scanning or related security-screening equipment. The successful business will need to provide the scanner, arrange delivery to Kenya, install it at the British Council’s premises, commission it and deliver basic operator training. Capability across equipment supply and field installation is therefore important, as is the ability to support testing and handover after installation. Manufacturers, specialist security-equipment distributors, systems integrators and installation contractors may be well placed to compete, particularly where they can provide a complete supply-and-installation service. International delivery and on-site work in Kenya are central to the requirement. Because the award is based on competitive price, suppliers should be able to submit a clear, economical quotation covering the required equipment, installation, commissioning and training.
