         The British Council, Egypt office offers examination services both for its candidates and for boards whose exams it delivers. As such, it conducts examinations for IELTS (International English Language Testing System) and School examinations. There are two types of delivery modes that are currently being used: Pen and Paper-based (P&P) and Computer Delivered tests (CD). Over the last few years, British Council’s (BC) Exam business in Egypt has increased and BC has contracted with hotels, universities and professional institutes to help deliver these Exams within Egypt. Thus, the driver for this Invitation to Tender (ITT) is to expand the current venue pool to meet the current and future demand and build an agile business model which is scalable and cost effective across Egypt. The requirement for this tender has been divided into lots to cater for each exam type and delivery mode:

         Lot 1: Pen and Paper Exams — IELTS;

         Lot 2: Computer Delivered Exams including CD IELTS;

         Lot 3: Managed Service Delivery (MSD).

         Suppliers can bid for either of the lots or for all the lots according to their areas of skill, knowledge and experience. Suppliers will not be disadvantaged if they apply for one lot only; however, suppliers must clearly identify their areas of expertise in their responses within the lot(s) they choose to respond to. From this Invitation to Tender (ITT), we hope to find capable supplier/s to establish a ‘Roster of Exam Venues’ for a period of 4 years within Egypt that can provide venue, venue set-up and other related services according to British Council specifications/standards. The successful supplier/s will be contracted through a framework agreement within their selected lot(s) after which services will be contracted as per the provided exams schedule.
