Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

British Patient Capital Limited procured legal services for Project Garnet. The requirement falls within the legal services category (CPV 79100000) and was delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber, with the buyer based at Steel City House in Sheffield. British Patient Capital Limited is part of the British Business Bank group, a development bank wholly owned by the UK Government. The work was procured for the buyer under its standard financial instructions. This is a professional services requirement rather than a supply of goods or construction work, and is relevant primarily to law firms and legal practices able to provide advice and support for a defined project on behalf of a public-sector investment organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Simmons & Simmons on 6 July 2026. The awarded contract value was £29,500 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract ran from 7 July 2026 to 31 July 2026, following a tender submission deadline of 6 July 2026. British Patient Capital Limited was the buyer and Simmons & Simmons the selected supplier. The procurement used a tender process, with the requirement described as legal services for Project Garnet. The published outcome records one award and an active award status. The contract period was short and project-specific, covering less than one month of legal service delivery.

This outcome indicates demand from British Patient Capital Limited for focused legal support connected with a named project, rather than an ongoing general legal-services arrangement. Competitors considering similar work for this buyer would need a legal-services capability suited to discrete project instructions, the capacity to mobilise quickly and complete work within a tightly defined delivery window, and experience operating for an organisation in the British Business Bank group or a comparable public-sector investment environment. The selected supplier was a large law firm, while the procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Larger established practices are therefore the closest comparable supplier profile.
