## Summary

The British Council is procuring services for Creative DNA Twende Soko 2.0, a collaborative fashion project involving the UK and Kenya. The provider will work with a UK-based organisation to deliver the project for fashion-sector practitioners in Kenya and the UK. The requirement is classified as business analysis consultancy services, covering the project’s implementation and collaborative delivery rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Delivery is linked to Kenya, with activity also involving the UK fashion sector. This opportunity is relevant to organisations that can support fashion-industry practitioners across both countries and coordinate an international creative-sector project for the British Council.

The process reached tender: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries could be submitted until 28 August 2026 at 22:00 UTC, and tenders were due by 11 September 2026 at 22:00 UTC. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 28 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT, or £88,000 including VAT. There is one lot. The evaluation gives 40% to methodology and approach, including an implementation plan for the four required delivery areas; 30% to quality, demonstrated through previous experience supporting fashion practitioners in Kenya and the UK; and 30% to the commercial submission and detailed budget breakdown.

This requirement suits a specialist fashion-sector consultancy, creative organisation, programme delivery business or partnership able to operate across Kenya and the UK. The strongest suppliers will be able to show previous experience supporting fashion-industry practitioners in both countries, alongside a credible approach to collaborative international delivery. They will need to turn the scope into a detailed implementation plan covering the project’s four delivery areas and provide a clear, fully broken-down budget. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it may suit a focused organisation or a consortium with the required cross-border fashion, programme-management and stakeholder-engagement capability. The work requires practical delivery capacity over the contract period.
