Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank plc procured an anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer compliance service: a configurable third-party risk management platform for screening and onboarding suppliers, automating risk assessments and monitoring suppliers throughout their lifecycle. It uses business intelligence and corporate ownership data to help manage regulatory, financial and operational risks across the organisation’s supplier portfolio. The service also includes business continuity and disaster recovery, with separate production and recovery environments and resilient data replication to protect customer data and limit disruption. This is a software-enabled service for compliance and supplier-risk management, delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is based in Sheffield.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Moody’s Analytics UK Limited was selected, with an award dated 24 June 2026. The awarded value is £653,950. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The requirement was procured through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The stated tender submission deadline was 24 June 2026. The process identifies the service as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published information gives no specific scoring or evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be characterised further.

This award demonstrates demand from British Business Bank for a supplier-risk and anti-money-laundering platform covering supplier screening, onboarding, automated assessment and ongoing monitoring. A credible competitor would need to combine configurable compliance workflows with extensive business intelligence and corporate ownership data, and support risk oversight across the full supplier lifecycle. The service must address regulatory, financial and operational risks, rather than provide screening alone. Resilience is also central to the requirement: suppliers need a robust continuity and disaster recovery capability, separate production and recovery environments, and resilient data replication that protects customer data and limits service interruption. The buyer’s stated SME and VCSE suitability positions the requirement towards larger providers with the capacity and established platform infrastructure to deliver this breadth of service.
