## Summary

British Business Bank PLC procured temporary legal resource as a legal services requirement. The work is intended to provide temporary support for the bank’s legal needs, rather than a broader legal works or construction programme. Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is British Business Bank PLC, based in Sheffield, England. The procurement falls within the legal services category, CPV 79100000. It is classified as a services requirement and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This opportunity would be relevant to legal service providers, legal support businesses and specialist resourcing firms able to supply temporary legal capacity for a UK public-sector financial institution.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. British Business Bank PLC used a direct single-tender action below the threshold. The contract was awarded to Obelisk Legal Support Solutions Limited on 21 August 2026 for £110,103. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026. One supplier was selected, and the award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the single-tender route rather than an open competition. This outcome shows the buyer’s chosen route for securing temporary legal resource below the applicable threshold, with the award value and delivery period set for the specified contract term.

This award is commercially relevant to small and medium-sized legal businesses that can provide temporary legal resource to a public-sector financial institution in the United Kingdom. A credible future supplier would need the capacity to supply suitably experienced legal professionals at short notice, manage a temporary resourcing requirement reliably and maintain service continuity throughout the engagement. Providers should be able to operate within a direct, below-threshold purchasing environment and demonstrate a clear understanding of public-sector client expectations, governance and confidentiality. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that a smaller specialist provider can meet this type of requirement. Firms offering flexible legal support teams or managed legal resourcing services are the closest comparable competitors.
