Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

British Business Financial Services Ltd procured legal services for Project Hatch, a finance and high-risk or innovation matter. The requirement was delivered for the buyer in Sheffield, Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The procurement used the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 Legal Panel, specifically Lot 3 for Finance and High Risk / Innovation. This is a professional services requirement rather than a goods or construction opportunity, and the scope concerns legal advice and support connected with the project. The buyer is British Business Financial Services Ltd, based at Steel City House, West Street, Sheffield. The stated category is legal services (CPV 79100000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 July 2026. Ashurst Perkins Coie UK LLP was selected for a contract worth £32,000. The contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. The tender deadline was 20 July 2026. The route was the Government Commercial Agency RM6360 Legal Panel, Lot 3 for Finance and High Risk / Innovation. The award is active, and the contract period matches the awarded period. This was a single legal-services requirement for Project Hatch, with the buyer’s estimated tender value also stated as £32,000. The recorded procurement method details are “Not specified”.

This award shows demand from British Business Financial Services Ltd for specialist legal support involving finance and high-risk or innovation work. A credible future competitor would need the legal expertise and professional capacity to advise on comparable financial, high-risk or innovative business matters, together with access to the relevant Government Commercial Agency RM6360 Legal Panel route and its Lot 3. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity is marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Firms considering this buyer should therefore assess whether they can operate at the scale expected for panel-based government legal work and demonstrate relevant finance-focused experience rather than general legal capability alone.
