What is being bought
BC Services Bangladesh Ltd, a local entity of the British Council, is inviting eligible and qualified schools in Bangladesh to participate in a tender process for the provision of examination venues.
The purpose of this tender is to identify suitable school premises that can be used to conduct British Council examinations in full compliance with:
• British Council examination venue standards and operational requirements; and
• All applicable Government of Bangladesh laws and regulations governing the operation of educational institutions in Bangladesh.
Participating schools must ensure that their venues meet the required standards relating to infrastructure, safety, security, accessibility, seating capacity, examination conditions, and administrative support necessary for the smooth and secure delivery of examinations.
The selected school venues will primarily be used to conduct examinations for the school's own registered candidates. In addition, the British Council may, where required, use these venues to administer examinations for candidates from other schools and/or private candidates.
