## Summary

The British Council procured services to curate an online programme and produce face-to-face events in Mexico. The scope included the technical and methodological approach needed to deliver the programme and events. The requirement falls within cultural event organisation services and was arranged as a single service lot. The work is for the British Council, a public authority, with delivery in Mexico. This may suit event producers, cultural organisations, programme curators and specialist delivery partners with experience combining online programming with in-person events. Relevant suppliers would need to understand both the creative and operational sides of cultural event delivery, including the planning, production and technical coordination required to support a public-facing programme.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold tender route. One lot was awarded to Artic Cord. The award is active and the contract was signed on 11 August 2026. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £63,443 excluding VAT, or £75,528 including VAT. The award covers cultural event organisation services delivered in Mexico. The procurement used the British Council’s requirement for online programme curatorship and face-to-face event production, including the technical and methodological approach. The selected supplier is Artic Cord, based in Guadalajara, Mexico. The recorded tender status is complete, and the resulting contract is active for the stated delivery period.

This award demonstrates demand from the British Council for a supplier able to combine online programme curation with face-to-face cultural event production in Mexico. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience designing and curating programmes, producing live events and coordinating the technical delivery that connects the two. It would also need a clear methodological approach: the ability to explain how activities will be planned, managed and delivered, rather than offering event production in isolation. Local operating capability in Mexico, or strong and reliable delivery partners there, would be commercially relevant. Suppliers with cultural event organisation experience, programme management skills and the capacity to deliver both digital and in-person activity would be best placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
