Summary of the contracting process

The British Business Bank is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a Loan Management System. This initiative seeks to implement a cloud-based solution to facilitate a potential new debt product. Currently, the process is at the preliminary market engagement stage, gathering information from suppliers regarding available solutions, capabilities, and pricing models. The bidding is focused on banking and investment services within the United Kingdom, particularly in Sheffield. The milestone engagement for this procurement is scheduled to complete by the 23rd of January 2026. Businesses are encouraged to submit responses through the Delta messaging centre after completing a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

This procurement process presents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in cloud-based banking and investment solutions to collaborate with a central government authority, the British Business Bank. Suppliers with expertise in cloud computing, banking services, and investment banking services are well-positioned to support the implementation of this Loan Management System. This venture offers a substantial scope for growth, with significant potential for long-term engagement as reflected in the planned contract period from October 2026 to October 2033. Quality responses might lead to demonstrations and further negotiations with the Bank, potentially establishing strong business ties with government projects.
