Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank plc procured technical consultancy covering both on-premise and cloud technology. The requirement is classified as IT services and relates to consultancy rather than a specified software product or construction project. The buyer is based in Sheffield, and the procurement identifies the United Kingdom as the delivery location. The published scope is concise: technical consultancy for on-premise and cloud environments. It does not break the work into named technical tasks or identify particular systems, platforms or project outcomes. This is relevant to IT consultancies able to advise across both locally hosted and cloud-based technology for a UK public-sector financial institution.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Meteoric Ltd. The award was made on 8 April 2026 for £85,800. The contract period runs from 30 April 2026 to 30 April 2027. British Business Bank used a limited procedure described as a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold. The estimated procurement value was also £85,800. The quotation deadline was 27 April 2026. The procurement was classified as a services contract and was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The evaluation criteria and any detailed selection requirements are not set out in the available process data.

This award shows that British Business Bank buys technical consultancy spanning both on-premise and cloud environments, with a defined one-year engagement delivered in the UK. A competing supplier would need credible expertise across both technology settings and the ability to provide consultancy to a public financial institution. The selected supplier was identified as an SME, indicating that a smaller consultancy was capable of winning this requirement; the process was conducted through a competitive quotation below threshold. The scope published here does not identify particular platforms, technical disciplines, certifications or staffing levels, so these cannot be treated as demonstrated requirements. For suppliers tracking this buyer, the key commercial signal is demand for cross-environment IT advice through a quotation-based route.
