Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process undertaken by British Patient Capital Limited, a subsidiary of the British Business Bank, has culminated in the award of a contract for legal services under the project titled 'Project Espresso'. This procurement, categorised under the legal services industry (CPV code 79100000), was focused on the Yorkshire and the Humber region in the United Kingdom. The award stage was completed on 7th July 2026, with the contract period set from 8th July to 31st August 2026. The procurement, worth £40,000, was processed according to standard financial instructions of the bank without a specified procurement method. Notably, this tender phase has concluded, marking the procurement's transition to the award stage.

The 'Project Espresso' contract presents valuable opportunities for large-scale legal firms to leverage their expertise and secure significant service contracts. Businesses that specialise in comprehensive legal services, particularly those with a proven track record of working with governmental or quasi-governmental bodies like the British Business Bank, are well-suited to such tenders. Although the contract has been awarded to Ashurst Perkins Cole, this contract exemplifies the type of large-scale procurement opportunities available to firms poised to offer substantial legal and advisory services to public-sector-affiliated organisations.
