Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank Plc procured IT hardware for its offices in Sheffield and London. The requirement covers the supply of hardware products for the bank’s workplace and operational technology needs, classified under CPV 44316400. The buyer is a development bank wholly owned by the UK Government, with its registered office in Sheffield. The procurement is categorised as goods and was delivered through the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework, Lot 2 Hardware. This is a hardware supply requirement rather than an IT consultancy, software development or construction opportunity. Businesses serving public or corporate offices with a broad range of end-user and related technology hardware would be relevant to this demand.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. British Business Bank Plc selected CDW Ltd on 1 June 2026. The awarded value is £50,000 including the stated currency, and the contract runs from 15 June 2026 to 14 June 2028. Bids were due by 31 May 2026. The buying route was the Crown Commercial Service RM6098 Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework, Lot 2 Hardware. The published process records a single award to CDW Ltd, whose organisation is classified as large. The opportunity was marked as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises but not for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate lots or alternative awards are recorded.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for IT hardware across a development bank’s offices in Sheffield and London, with purchasing carried out through the Crown Commercial Service’s Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework, Lot 2 Hardware. A credible future competitor would need access to that framework route or an equivalent route used by the buyer, together with the capacity to supply and support hardware for more than one office. The successful supplier’s large-business classification indicates that operational scale, established fulfilment capability and the ability to manage a corporate public-sector account were relevant commercial characteristics. Voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable participants, although SMEs were not.
