## Summary

The British Council is seeking legal and document-certification services for educational documents translated from English into Greek. The appointed supplier will edit translated documents, certify the translations and certify true copies of translated documents. The requirement is a legal services contract and must be delivered in Greece. The work is intended for educational documents and is focused on ensuring that English-to-Greek translations and their copies meet the required certification standards. The buying organisation is the British Council, a public authority operating from London. Suppliers should be able to provide the legal and language-related document services required for Greek educational documentation, with the formal certification work carried out under the relevant Greek legal requirements.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot requirement with an estimated value of £135,483 excluding VAT, or £168,000 including VAT. Enquiries must be submitted by 2 September 2026 at 07:00 UTC, and offers by 8 September 2026 at 07:00 UTC. Electronic submission is allowed. The contract is planned to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with three possible annual extensions, giving a maximum end date of 30 September 2032. Offers will be evaluated on quality at 60% and commercial terms at 40%.

This opportunity suits a supplier that holds a valid Greek lawyers licence and can combine legal certification with careful translation-document editing. The required capability includes reviewing documents translated from English into Greek, certifying the translations and certifying true copies of those translated documents. The work is particularly relevant to Greek-qualified lawyers, legal practices and specialist document-certification providers with the processes needed to handle educational records accurately and consistently. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it is accessible to an appropriately equipped specialist business rather than being limited to a large national provider. Suppliers should be able to deliver the service in Greece and meet the certification requirements for educational documentation.
