What changed
The British Council published a preliminary market engagement notice on 22 April 2026 inviting interested service providers to participate in a competitive procurement process for NPW outsourcing services in Bangladesh. The notice covers recruitment, verification, and payroll management of an estimated 800-1000 seasonal non-permanent workers under a three-year contract commencing 1 September 2026. Providers with relevant experience in temporary staff supply services (CPV 79620000) may express interest by the 5 May 2026 engagement deadline.
Staffing agencies and HR service providers specialising in overseas temporary worker supply should monitor this procurement. The British Council's requirement for a single supplier managing the full NPW lifecycle—recruitment through payroll—suggests preference for large-scale managed service providers with Bangladesh operational capacity. Bidders should ensure compliance with British Council guidelines referenced in the notice.
