Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank Plc is procuring education and training services for its business investment activities. The requirement covers off-the-shelf public training courses and in-house delivery of those courses, focused on technical topics related to business investment. The work is for the British Business Bank, a government-owned development bank headquartered in Sheffield, and delivery is specified for Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a services opportunity rather than a supply of goods or construction work. It is relevant to training organisations able to provide established course content for public enrolment as well as tailored in-house delivery for the buyer’s staff or stakeholders. The procurement is classified under CPV 80000000, education and training services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The tender closed on 31 May 2026, and the contract was awarded on 1 June 2026 to International Compliance Association Limited. The awarded value is £28,000. The contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 22 July 2029. The tender’s stated procurement route is for training services, with the requirement covering both public courses and in-house course delivery. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The contract is a single requirement rather than a set of separately described lots. The award provides a clear outcome for this buyer’s training requirement, with International Compliance Association Limited selected as the supplier.

For a supplier considering this buyer’s future requirements, the award demonstrates demand for specialist, ready-made training linked to business investment, alongside the ability to deliver the same material directly in-house. A credible competitor would need authoritative technical course content, experienced trainers and the operational capacity to support both public course delivery and client-specific sessions. The work suits established training providers with a substantial delivery platform rather than small or voluntary organisations, as the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs and the selected supplier is recorded as large. Relevant experience should include professional education, structured course administration and training on technical business investment topics for a development-bank environment.
