Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

British Patient Capital Limited commissioned legal services for Project Fairylight. The requirement sits within the legal services market and is classified under CPV 79100000. The work is associated with British Patient Capital, a development-investment organisation within the British Business Bank group, and is for delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber. The stated purpose is to provide legal support for Project Fairylight. This is a professional services requirement rather than a supply of goods or construction work, so relevant businesses are legal practices able to advise and deliver the required project work for a public-sector-owned investment organisation. The procurement relates to one overall legal services requirement rather than separately described lots or work packages.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Linklaters LLP on 12 July 2026. The award value is £42,000. The contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. Tender submissions were due by 12 July 2026. The process used a tender procedure, with the procurement carried out in line with the bank’s standard financial instructions. The award is active, and the tender itself is recorded as complete. British Patient Capital Limited is the buyer. Linklaters LLP is the selected supplier. The available information presents a single requirement and a single award, with no separate lots or alternative suppliers identified. The contract concerns legal services for Project Fairylight.

This award shows a defined demand for project-specific legal services from British Patient Capital Limited, delivered in support of an investment-related organisation within the British Business Bank group. A competitor seeking similar work would need a legal practice with the breadth and capacity to support Project Fairylight-type requirements, manage work for a public-sector-owned financial organisation and deliver advice across the full life of a short, focused engagement. The selected supplier is a large legal practice, while the procurement is recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. That points towards competitors with substantial legal resources, established quality controls, appropriate public-sector or regulated-finance experience and the ability to provide senior specialist input promptly for comparable project instructions.
