## Summary

The British Council is procuring an assessment partner for the EDGE Punjab Project with UNICEF. The requirement is for technical testing and assessment services supporting the project in Pakistan. The work is classified under CPV 71632000, technical testing services. The British Council is the buying organisation and is seeking proposals from suppliers able to provide the required assessment-partner services, follow the project specifications and deliver in Pakistan. The procurement covers one requirement and is categorised as a service rather than goods or works. The detailed scope, specifications, response instructions and standard contractual terms are set out for suppliers to consider when preparing their proposals.

The process has reached tender: the British Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline is 21 September 2026 at 06:59 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 31 May 2028, with an option to extend to 30 November 2028. Its gross value is £50,000. Electronic submission is allowed. Offers will be evaluated on quality at 30%, methodology and approach at 30%, and commercial pricing at 40%. The requirement includes a potential extension of up to six months, based on performance. Suppliers must provide the requested supplier response and pricing approach as part of their offer.

This opportunity suits organisations that provide technical testing, assessment or related evaluation services and can act as a delivery partner for an international development project in Pakistan. Suppliers should be able to present a clear methodology and approach, complete the required supplier response, and provide a commercially structured pricing submission. The evaluation gives equal combined weight to the quality of the offer and the proposed methodology, while price is the largest single element, so bidders need both credible delivery plans and disciplined cost control. The work is suited to a provider able to sustain delivery over the main contract term and potentially continue for a further period where performance supports an extension.
