In plain English

The British Council wants to buy office supplies for use across several EU countries, with an estimated value of £180,000. The supplies must comply with new EU rules that aim to stop products linked to deforestation from being sold in the EU.

What the buyer wants

• Supply office supplies that comply with the EU Deforestation-free Products Regulation (EUDR) • Be able to supply across the EU, as the contract is described as pan-EU • Meet the British Council's requirements for sourcing compliant products

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice does not state specific qualification criteria, but the requirement to meet EUDR rules for pan-EU supply could rule out small businesses that cannot evidence compliance or supply across multiple EU countries.

Always check the tender documents.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.

Where to apply

The notice doesn't say where to apply. British Council uses In-Tend for its other tenders, so start there: make a free account, then search for this tender's title.
