Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank Plc bought executive coaching support, classified as coaching services. The requirement is a services contract for executive-level coaching rather than goods, construction or general training. The buying organisation is British Business Bank Plc, a UK Government-owned development bank headquartered at Steel City House in Sheffield. Delivery covers Yorkshire and the Humber. The published scope is concise and refers to the provision of executive coaching support. This is relevant to organisations that provide structured coaching for senior executives and leadership teams, particularly those able to work with a public-sector-owned financial and investment organisation in the Yorkshire and Humber area. The buyer is not a banking institution and does not operate as one.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Praesta Partners LLP. The award was made on 26 March 2026 for £35,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 13 May 2026 to 12 May 2028. The tender submission deadline was 25 March 2026. It was conducted as a tender for services, with coaching services as the classification. There were no lots or separate award values recorded: the requirement was treated as one contract. The award is active and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to a single supplier, with no cancellation or termination recorded. The buyer is British Business Bank Plc.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined demand for executive coaching within British Business Bank Plc and provides a useful benchmark for the scale and expected contract structure of this requirement. A credible competitor would need a demonstrable capability in executive coaching, with coaches able to support senior leaders and adapt their approach to an organisation operating in public-sector finance and investment. Relevant experience should show effective delivery of professional coaching services rather than broad consultancy alone. Suppliers should also be able to provide consistent coverage for work connected with Yorkshire and the Humber, maintain suitable quality and confidentiality arrangements, and demonstrate enough organisational capacity to support the buyer throughout a multi-year service relationship.
