Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Business Bank, based in Sheffield, procured consultancy services for reviewing and testing internal controls. The work is intended to assess whether existing controls are fit for purpose and, where required, redesign and test new controls introduced by the bank. Delivery may be required across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement is classified under CPV 72224000, project management consultancy services, and is categorised as a services contract. It is relevant to firms providing internal control assurance, control design, testing and related audit or assurance support for a public-sector financial institution operating across multiple jurisdictions.

The procurement has been completed and was awarded to Deloitte LLP following a further competition under the GCA Audit and Assurance Services Two framework, RM6310. The tender submission deadline was 17 July 2026, and the award was made on 27 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £330,000. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. The procurement was evaluated through the framework’s further-competition route. The requirement was not marked as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and relates to a single supplier, Deloitte LLP, rather than separate awards to multiple suppliers or lots.

This award demonstrates demand from the British Business Bank for specialist internal-control assurance and control redesign. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability to examine existing controls, test whether they operate effectively, identify weaknesses, design replacement or new controls where necessary, and test those changes after implementation. The selected supplier was Deloitte LLP, a large professional services firm, indicating that the requirement was suited to an organisation with substantial audit and assurance resources. Suppliers should therefore be able to support a complex financial institution, work across the broad geographic scope involved, and provide enough specialist capacity to deliver control reviews and testing consistently rather than a one-off advisory assessment.
