Summary of the contracting process

The British Business Bank PLC has completed the procurement process for "Middle Management Training," a project focused on addressing the rising demand for middle management training services. The services predominantly encompass education and training within the central government public authority's remit, with delivery set in Sheffield and potentially at the London office. The procurement method employed was direct and below threshold, allowing for direct engagement without competitive tendering, and the award was finalised on 31 March 2026. The award includes services provided by The Hub Events Ltd, culminating in an active contract worth £75,000 with a gross amount of £90,000, running until 28 February 2029.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly SMEs, as exemplified by The Hub Events Ltd, a small enterprise. Businesses well-placed to benefit further include training providers who can deliver bespoke management training and leverage team plans for organisational development. Engaging in such contracts can help diversify business portfolios, increase market exposure, and solidify relationships within central government procurement frameworks.
