## Summary

British Patient Capital Ltd procured legal services for Project Sky, classified under CPV 79100000. The requirement covers legal advice and support for the Project Sky initiative. The buying organisation is British Patient Capital Ltd, based at Steel City House, West Street, Sheffield. Delivery is associated with Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works. The background identifies British Business Bank Plc as a development bank wholly owned by the UK Government, with British Patient Capital Ltd forming part of that wider group. The requirement therefore suits legal practices that advise financial, investment or public-sector organisations and can work with a development-bank environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ashurst Perkins Coie UK LLP. The award date was 1 August 2026, for £42,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 4 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 1 August 2026. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation. The procurement used a tender process for legal services, and the award is active. The published information identifies a single requirement rather than separate lots. British Patient Capital Ltd is the buyer. This is an outcome notice: the supplier has already been selected, so the procurement is not an opportunity to submit a bid.

For legal practices, this procurement provides a clear example of British Patient Capital Ltd’s requirement for external legal support on a defined Project Sky engagement. The successful supplier, Ashurst Perkins Coie UK LLP, is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that scale and established delivery capacity were compatible with the buyer’s needs. Relevant competitors would need a credible legal-services offering, the ability to advise an investment or development-bank organisation, and sufficient capacity to deliver a focused engagement promptly. Firms should also be able to work with a public-sector-owned financial group and demonstrate dependable professional delivery. The award may help legal suppliers assess their fit for comparable future requirements from this buyer.
