Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank PLC procured professional workforce services for a Transformation and Delivery Manager in IT Operations. The role provides dedicated delivery leadership, governance, coordination and assurance across a growing portfolio of innovation, automation, platform modernisation and continuous improvement initiatives. It sits within a wider workforce programme supplying professional, managerial, operational and administrative workers through delivery routes including statements of work. The service is classified as personnel supply and is delivered across Yorkshire and the Humber and London. This is a management and delivery leadership requirement for an organisation needing oversight of multiple IT Operations change initiatives, rather than a general temporary staffing requirement. Relevant suppliers are those able to provide an experienced transformation leader who can coordinate delivery and provide governance and assurance across a varied technology portfolio.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 24 July 2026 to Alexander Mann Solutions Limited. The awarded contract value is £44,308. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 January 2027. The requirement was procured as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with responses due by 21 July 2026 at 23:59. The buyer is British Business Bank PLC. This was a single workforce services requirement for a Transformation and Delivery Manager in IT Operations, evaluated through the framework call-off process. The award is active and the contract period is fixed to the stated dates. The procurement is identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates demand for senior IT Operations transformation leadership covering innovation, automation, platform modernisation and continuous improvement. A credible future competitor would need to supply an individual who can lead delivery across several initiatives, establish and maintain governance, coordinate stakeholders and provide assurance over progress and outcomes. Experience managing a growing portfolio of technology change, rather than delivering a single isolated project, would be important. Suppliers should be able to provide professional workforce services through a structured statement-of-work route and demonstrate the capacity to support a large public-sector financial institution. The requirement was fulfilled by a large supplier, so competitors would need dependable resourcing, strong delivery controls and the ability to place an appropriately experienced transformation and delivery manager.
