The British Embassy in Colombia delivers a range of high-profile events throughout 2025 and upcoming years, including the flagship celebration of the Kings Birthday Party and other series of regional events.

  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
