Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank Plc commissioned technology and data investment consultancy services. The work concerns developing the bank’s technology and data strategy within its investments function, covering technical analysis and consultancy. The requirement is a professional services engagement rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. Delivery is associated with Yorkshire and the Humber, with the bank headquartered in Sheffield. British Business Bank Plc is a UK government-owned development bank and operates through a wider group of subsidiaries. The requirement is relevant to consultancies that advise investment organisations on technology strategy, data strategy, operating models, systems and the use of data to support investment activity. The procurement’s classification is technical testing, analysis and consultancy services (CPV 71600000).

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to Holland Mountain Group, an SME. The award was made on 8 May 2026 for £33,000, and the contract runs from 9 May 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender closed for submissions on 7 May 2026. It was run as a tender for services, with the opportunity titled Tech & Data Investment Consultancy. The award is active and covers the full requirement rather than separately identified lots. The recorded contract value and period are the same as the award value and period. The buying organisation is British Business Bank Plc. The procurement record identifies the service category and delivery area, while the award confirms the selected supplier and outcome.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined demand for specialist technology and data strategy advice within a public investment institution. A credible competitor would need consultants able to connect investment-sector priorities with practical technology and data strategy, assess the current position, identify improvements and produce an actionable direction for the investments function. Relevant experience should include advising financial, investment or similarly data-intensive organisations, translating technical issues for senior stakeholders and delivering consultancy outputs within a fixed engagement. The buyer recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, although the selected supplier is identified as an SME. This suggests that demonstrable specialist capability, relevant experience and sufficient delivery capacity would be important when comparable work returns.
