Summary of the contracting process

The British Business Bank PLC, a central government public authority based in Sheffield, has completed a direct procurement process titled "Diverse Angel Syndicate," which aims to bolster female-led angel syndicates throughout the UK. This initiative falls under the services industry category, specifically banking and investment services, with delivery in the UKE32 region. The procurement was finalised via a below-threshold, non-competitive direct method, with the contract being awarded on 31 March 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a value of £48,000 GBP.

This tender presents growth opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in banking and investment services, particularly those interested in diversifying and expanding support for female entrepreneurship across the nation. AwakenAngels Limited, an SME located in Derry, has been chosen as the supplier for this project. Businesses that are similarly positioned and possess a keen interest or established track record in supporting female-led initiatives would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature, potentially leading to further business development and networking opportunities in this sector.
