## Summary

The British Council is buying a new baggage scanner for its premises in Kenya, replacing an existing scanner. The requirement covers supply, installation, commissioning and basic operator training. This is primarily a goods opportunity involving security-screening equipment, with associated installation and user familiarisation services. The scanner is classified under CPV 33112300, ultrasound scanners. Delivery and all related activity will take place in Kenya. Suppliers should be able to provide the equipment as a complete replacement solution and support its installation and commissioning at the British Council’s premises. The buyer is the British Council, a public authority operating at sub-central government level. The requirement is presented as a single procurement covering the scanner and the associated implementation activities rather than separate purchases.

The process has reached tender: the British Council invited offers through an open procedure. Suppliers could submit electronic offers in English. Enquiries were due by 14 September 2026 at 18:30 UTC, and offers were due by 21 September 2026 at 18:30 UTC. The buyer expected to complete the award process by 30 September 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £32,000 excluding taxes, or £34,000 including taxes. There is one lot. The award basis is the most economical, competitive price. The financial terms state payment within 30 days. The tender is above the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits suppliers of baggage-security scanning equipment that can deliver a complete supply-and-installation package in Kenya. Relevant capability includes sourcing and supplying a new scanner, removing or replacing the existing equipment where required, installing the replacement, commissioning it successfully and providing basic operator training. Suppliers should have the operational capacity to coordinate equipment delivery and on-site installation at British Council premises, and to complete the work within the specified contract period. Experience delivering and commissioning comparable scanners or security-screening systems would place a supplier well to compete, particularly where it can demonstrate reliable technical support and user instruction. The evaluation is based on competitive price, so suppliers able to offer an economical end-to-end solution are likely to be best placed.
