Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involved British Patient Capital Limited, acting on behalf of British Business Bank Plc, in the acquisition of legal services for investment documentation review. The contract, titled "GB-Sheffield: Legal services for BPC," falls under the Legal Services industry (CPV code 79100000) and required services to be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber, UK. The procurement reached the award stage on 5th June 2026, with Ashurst LLP secured as the supplier for an amount of £32,000. Additionally, the contract ran from 9th June 2026 to 31st July 2026. The approach used was not specified beyond the tags associated with Crown Commercial Services RM6360 framework agreement, Lot 3, covering Finance and High Risk/Innovation sectors.

This contract provided business growth opportunities specifically in the legal sector, particularly for firms specialising in finance and high-risk investments. Large scale companies with a strong presence and experience in legal consultancy for complex investment contracts would find this opportunity well-suited to their expertise. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) weren't specifically identified as a target for engagement in this tender process, the emphasis on specialised legal knowledge signifies a preference for well-established firms capable of handling sophisticated legal requirements associated with government-backed development banking functions.
