## Summary

British Business Bank plc commissioned specialist consultancy and technical services to implement Microsoft Purview sensitivity labelling and related information-protection capabilities. The work covers discovering and remediating data, designing and configuring labels and policies, setting up automated labelling, testing and deployment, user adoption and go-live support, and knowledge transfer. The implementation supports the Bank’s AI enablement, data governance, regulatory compliance and information-control objectives. The work is for the Bank’s Microsoft Purview environment, with delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a professional-services requirement combining information-protection expertise with hands-on technical implementation and organisational adoption support.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Alexander Mann Solutions Limited. The award was made on 13 October 2026. The fixed-price contract is valued at £207,318 and runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 March 2027. The Bank used a selective call-off from the Workforce Solutions framework, with delivery governed by a Statement of Work. The contract is outcome-based, with accountability for agreed milestones and results. The stated scope is a single implementation requirement; the award record does not identify separate lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete. The procurement data does not set out a separate evaluation formula or weighted award criteria.

For suppliers aiming to compete for a future requirement of this kind at British Business Bank, credibility rests on specialist Microsoft Purview knowledge and the ability to deliver information protection from discovery through operational adoption. Relevant capability includes data discovery and remediation, sensitivity-label and policy design, configuration of automated labelling, testing, deployment, user support at go-live and knowledge transfer. Suppliers would need to deliver against agreed outcomes and milestones, with clear accountability across both consultancy and technical implementation. Familiarity with the Bank’s existing Purview environment was a factor in the selected framework route, so demonstrating how a team can work effectively within an established environment would be valuable. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, and its scope shows demand for a focused delivery team rather than a broad, unrelated technology service.

## Notice

The Bank has awarded a fixed-price, outcome-based professional services contract for specialist consultancy and technical delivery to implement Microsoft Purview Sensitivity Labelling and associated information protection capabilities. The services include data discovery and remediation; the design, configuration, testing and deployment of sensitivity labels, policies and automated labelling; user adoption and go-live support; and knowledge transfer, supporting the Bank's AI enablement, data governance, regulatory compliance and information-control objectives. The contract has been called off through the Workforce Solutions framework with AMS, using a Statement of Work for delivery. This route provides an established team with existing knowledge of the Bank's Microsoft Purview environment, reduces mobilisation time and delivery risk, provides clear accountability for agreed milestones and outcomes.
