Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank procured a desktop software application for data processing, analytics and visualisation. The requirement is for a data analytics and visualisation product, rather than consultancy or a broader IT service. Delivery is described across the United Kingdom and several other territories, including Europe and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is the British Business Bank, based in Sheffield. The procurement is categorised as a goods purchase and concerns software packages and information systems. The application is intended to provide desktop-based data processing capability. The stated requirement centres on the software itself; it does not describe additional implementation, support or integration work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Alteryx UK Ltd on 21 July 2026. The award value is £90,384, matching the estimated procurement value. The contract period runs from 6 September 2026 to 5 September 2029. The tender deadline was 20 July 2026. The purchase was conducted in line with the bank’s Standing Financial Instructions. No lots are described. The procurement data does not set out a named procedure or explain the evaluation criteria, so the basis for comparing offers cannot be identified. The award is recorded as active, and the selected supplier is identified as a UK limited company. The scope is a desktop application for data processing, analytics and visualisation.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from the British Business Bank, this award demonstrates demand for desktop software that combines data processing, analytics and visualisation. A credible competitor would need to provide an application that can handle data processing and present analytical results clearly in a desktop environment. The selected supplier, Alteryx UK Ltd, is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller software supplier was able to meet this requirement. The purchase was made under the bank’s Standing Financial Instructions, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through the bank’s procurement route and meet its requirements for software supply. The procurement is categorised as goods, not a service-led analytics engagement; relevant providers are therefore software vendors able to supply a product for use across the bank’s stated delivery scope.
