## Summary

British Business Financial Services Ltd procured legal advisory services for Project Yellow, delivered in Sheffield, Yorkshire. The work used the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 Legal Panel, Lot 3, covering finance and high-risk or innovation matters. The requirement is for specialist legal advice in these areas rather than a general legal services commission. The buyer is British Business Financial Services Ltd, part of the British Business Bank group. The recorded delivery location is Sheffield; the panel route indicates that the work was sourced through an established legal services arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ashurst Perkins Coie UK LLP on 22 September 2026. The awarded value is £32,000. The contract period runs from 24 September to 5 November 2026. The tender deadline was 22 September 2026. The procurement used the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 Legal Panel, Lot 3, for finance and high-risk or innovation legal services. No separate evaluation criteria or detailed procedure are recorded. The award information identifies one supplier and one contract; no lot-by-lot award split is set out.

For legal practices, this award demonstrates demand from British Business Financial Services Ltd for focused advice on finance and matters involving high risk or innovation, sourced through the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6360 Legal Panel. A credible competitor would need relevant legal expertise across those subjects and the ability to advise a financial-services client on a defined, specialist project. The selected supplier is a large law firm, indicating that a firm with the resources and specialist capacity to deliver this type of advisory work was successful. The opportunity is relatively focused in scope, so firms with directly relevant experience and the ability to deploy an appropriately skilled team are better aligned than generalist providers.
