Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank Plc bought public training services comprising both off-the-shelf courses and training delivered in-house. The requirement covers the design or provision of ready-made training courses and tailored sessions delivered within the organisation. The buying organisation is British Business Bank Plc, the development bank wholly owned by HM Government, based in Sheffield. Delivery is across Yorkshire and the Humber in the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as training services and falls within the services category. It may suit providers with a portfolio of established public training courses, as well as organisations able to adapt content and deliver sessions directly for the bank’s staff or teams. The requirement concerns training delivery rather than banking, investment or financial services.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. British Business Bank Plc awarded the contract to UK Private Capital on 16 February 2026. The award value is £65,000. The contract runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027. The tender submission deadline was 15 February 2026. The procurement covered a single requirement for training services, with delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber. The award is recorded as active. The published information describes the requirement as off-the-shelf and in-house public training courses. The procurement method is recorded as “Not specified”, and no separate award weighting or evaluation formula is stated. British Business Bank Plc is the buyer and UK Private Capital is the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for public training that combines ready-made courses with in-house delivery. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need a broad catalogue of established training courses and the ability to tailor content to an organisation’s needs. It would also need to deliver effectively within a public-sector or development-bank environment, coordinating course provision and in-house sessions as one service. The requirement is recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so suppliers should consider whether they have the scale, breadth of provision and operational capacity expected for the whole requirement. Evidence of reliable training delivery, adaptable course content and relevant public-sector experience would strengthen a competing offer.
