What changed
The British Council has announced the termination of two procurement contracts for Americas content agency services, with decisions made on March 10, 2026.

Additionally, Lot 4 for content agency services in the Americas region has been discontinued. The affected suppliers are Abrecaminos Contenidos and Caminos SAS, with individual contract values of £210,000 each, originally intended to run from April 6, 2026, to April 1, 2028, with possible extensions.
