Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank PLC procured a digital quality management tool for its website estate. The tool scans all of the bank’s websites overnight and reports accessibility issues, helping the organisation identify and address barriers affecting website users. This is a technology product and associated digital quality management capability, classified under computer platforms (CPV 30211300). Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement is relevant to suppliers providing website accessibility monitoring, automated testing, digital quality assurance or software platforms that can scan multiple websites on a scheduled basis and produce actionable reports. The buyer is British Business Bank PLC, based in Sheffield. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that specialist software providers and smaller digital technology businesses were within the intended supplier market.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. British Business Bank PLC used a direct single-tender action below the threshold. The contract was awarded to Magus Research Limited on 3 July 2026 for £50,240 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 August 2028. The tender submission deadline was 3 July 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the selected single-tender route rather than an open competition. The procurement covered one technology requirement rather than separate lots. The awarded supplier is Magus Research Limited. The award is active, and the stated contract value is the awarded value for the digital quality management tool covering the United Kingdom website estate.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from British Business Bank PLC for a specialist platform that can monitor accessibility across multiple websites overnight and report identified issues. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable automated website scanning, scheduled or overnight processing, clear accessibility issue reporting and the ability to support a public-facing organisation’s wider website estate. Evidence of software reliability, reporting quality, accessibility testing expertise and responsive support would strengthen a competing offer. The buyer’s acceptance of a small or medium-sized enterprise shows that this type of requirement can suit a focused specialist rather than only a large technology integrator. Relevant providers include accessibility software vendors, digital quality assurance firms and web testing businesses with repeatable monitoring capability.
