Summary of the contracting process

The British Business Bank PLC has conducted a direct procurement process titled "Business Rates: Review/Appeal," which falls under the industry category of business and management consultancy services. Located in Sheffield, United Kingdom, the procurement process aimed to review business rates for 8 Salisbury Square due to nearby building works. The process was completed with a contract awarded to Savills (UK) Ltd.
