Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank plc procured IT consulting and support services for an “Investment User Journey Portfolio Showcase”. The requirement is identified only by this project title, with no further breakdown of the work or deliverables. The buyer is based in Sheffield, and the listed delivery location is the United Kingdom. This is a services contract, rather than a purchase of goods or construction works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Coherence Consulting Limited. The award was made on 7 April 2026, for £170,000. The contract period runs from 7 April 2026 to 6 April 2027. The buyer used a direct single-tender action below the applicable threshold. The estimated tender value and awarded value are both £170,000. The procurement was not divided into lots. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier, but no evaluation criteria or supplier-specific eligibility requirements are recorded in the process information.

For suppliers of IT consulting and support, this award demonstrates British Business Bank plc’s demand for work associated with an investment user journey portfolio showcase. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to show relevant capability in delivering IT consultancy and support for this kind of showcase; the scope available here is limited to the project title, so it does not establish more specific technical or delivery requirements. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, and the procurement was handled as a direct single-tender action below threshold. Those facts indicate that a smaller supplier was selected through this route, but do not establish a formal SME-only restriction or a particular qualification standard.
