Coverage: 0 active published awards; 0 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 Unpublished data stays unknown.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.

This income is collected from customers in a range of payment journeys:- Where the customer is paying while in an online journey- The customer is paying cash in an office or teaching centre- The customer pays electronically but is not in an online journeyBritish Council is investigating options to engage a specialist payment providers handling the British Council Online Payments across our challenging markets, primarily South-East Asia and Africa. Their service will enable the customer to pay in their local currency for any product and the British Council to receive hard currency in the UK.
