## Summary

The British Council is seeking one strategic partner to supply a colleague experience platform and related services for around 8,500 colleagues across more than 100 countries. This is a workforce listening and insight service, extending beyond survey technology: it should help leaders, managers and teams understand what shapes colleagues’ experience, take action in day-to-day work, and assess whether those actions make a difference. The platform needs to support insight and action across the organisation, from organisation-wide views to individual teams. It must also accommodate the British Council’s evolving operating model, including different approaches to access, governance and action involving leaders, managers, local teams and People Function colleagues. The buyer is the British Council; the work supports its international workforce.

The British Council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender’s submission deadline was 23 November 2026 at 13:00 UTC; enquiries were due by 9 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The expected award decision date was 11 January 2027. The contract was due to start on 1 March 2027 for an initial 12-month term, with three optional 12-month extensions, up to 28 February 2031. The estimated contract value is £207,000 including VAT. This is a single-lot procurement, with quality as the stated award basis; the detailed criteria are set out in the tender documents. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable to compete.

This opportunity suits a supplier able to deliver a mature, scalable colleague experience platform and provide strategic support alongside the technology. The requirement calls for more than survey collection: suppliers need to connect listening and insight with practical action, and enable users to assess the effects of those actions. The platform must work at multiple levels, from organisation-wide analysis to individual teams, for a workforce spread across more than 100 countries. Suppliers should be able to support evolving operating arrangements and explain how different models for access, governance and action can involve leaders, managers, local teams and People Function colleagues. They must also explain the pricing implications of the approaches offered. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller and social-purpose suppliers may be relevant, as well as larger platform providers.
