Description

Tender objective: To secure multiple suppliers who can provide additional venue capacity to meet the British Council's computer-delivered exams demand in key market locations on a flexible scalable basis and at a viable cost.

British Council Exams are increasingly moving to Computer-Delivery (CD). The British Council with this tender aim to increase their CD venue capacity options in key markets through securing additional 3rd party hire venue suppliers. The tender aims to complement their local in-country procurement of venues by reaching out to any suppliers who may be attracted to an agreement across different countries that could offer them higher global level benefits. The British Council are looking for suppliers in a range of cities and countries. Suppliers must have a minimum of two venues from at least one city from two listed countries provided in the tender documents. The proposed Call-off Framework Agreement for any supplier will be up to a maximum of 4 years with a maximum potential cumulative value of £10,500,000.
