Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank plc procured workforce services, specifically continuity in a lead transformation and delivery management role for its Investment contact management project. The wider workforce programme can provide professional, managerial, operational and administrative staff through different delivery routes, including statements of work. The work was for delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a professional staffing and transformation-delivery requirement, rather than a general recruitment exercise: the immediate need was to maintain leadership and delivery management continuity on a named contact management project. British Business Bank plc is based in Sheffield.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to i3works Ltd. The award was made on 30 June 2026 for £40,365. The contract period runs from 1 July to 30 September 2026. The requirement was procured selectively as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement was classified as services, with personnel supply as the work category (CPV 79620000). The stated estimated tender value and awarded value are both £40,365. The procurement information identifies the lead transformation and delivery management role as the specific requirement; it does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or additional selection conditions. The opportunity was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For suppliers that provide professional workforce solutions, this award shows demand from British Business Bank for senior transformation and delivery management capacity to support its Investment contact management work. A credible competitor would need to supply a lead capable of maintaining continuity on a live project, with professional delivery management experience and the ability to work through a structured statement-of-work or comparable framework call-off. The buyer’s programme spans professional, managerial, operational and administrative staffing, but this requirement centred on leadership and delivery rather than broad temporary-staff cover. Small and medium-sized suppliers were considered suitable, so a smaller firm with relevant transformation delivery capability could be well placed, provided it can meet the buyer’s framework route and resource the required lead role.
