## Summary

The British Council commissioned a UK-based provider to coordinate and deliver a professional-development scholarship programme for public-school English-language teachers from Barranquilla and Bucaramanga, Colombia. The programme centres on a two-week immersion experience in the United Kingdom for a combined cohort of 14 selected teachers. The requirement is education and specialist training services, including training programme delivery and seminars. The work combines programme coordination with the delivery of an international teacher-training experience; it is intended to support the teachers’ professional development.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded to the Norwich Institute for Language Education (NILE), under a below-threshold procedure; the specific method is recorded as unknown. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from that date to 27 August 2027, with a single further 12-month extension available. The contract value is £46,035 gross. No award date is stated.

This award demonstrates demand from the British Council for a provider able to manage an international teacher-development programme and deliver a structured UK-based immersion experience. Suppliers with experience coordinating professional training for overseas education cohorts, arranging coherent programme delivery across a short intensive period, and supporting public-school English teachers would be well placed to compete if this requirement returns. The selected organisation is a large specialist language-education provider, indicating the type of established training capability represented in this award. The requirement is focused rather than broad: credible competitors would need to combine education-sector expertise with the operational capacity to coordinate a small international cohort and deliver specialist training in the UK.
