With increasing volumes of exams over the coming years particularly for computer-based/delivered exams (CBE), the British Council is seeking organisations that can provide the required invigilation and exam delivery services, venue capacity and facilities to deliver computer-based exams on its and its Clients' behalf across a number of specified countries. In some locations paper-based exam delivery services may also be required.
