Payment obligations depend on the applicable regime and contract. Consult the official documents.
Coverage: 1 active published awards; 1 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

    The department is responsible for running examinations at different locations around the UK. These are managed from a central hub in London at the British Council at Redman Place in Stratford, London E20. We have courier requirements for 2 different types of services: Firstly, we run Secure English Language Testing (SELT) examinations on behalf of His Majesty’s Government (HMG) for UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). The materials and equipment for these exams are packed into secure suitcases in our confidential materials store. The cases are collected and delivered to exam venues – typically they need to reach the exam venue at 6.30 am on a Saturday. The same process happens in reverse after the exams have finished. Additional information: The total estimated contract value for years 1 & 2 is £210k
