## Summary

British Patient Capital Limited procured legal services for its Project Master requirement. The work covered legal advice and support described in the request for proposals, including advice connected with a proposed investment by British Patient Capital and work procured under the bank’s standard financial instruction. The buyer is a wholly owned HM Government development-bank group company based at Steel City House in Sheffield. Delivery was required in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. This is a professional legal-services requirement rather than the purchase of goods, construction or operational support. The procurement falls under CPV 79100000, legal services, and is classified as a services contract. The requirement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a tender process. Bids were due by 10 September 2026, and the contract was awarded on 10 September 2026 to Simmons & Simmons LLP. The awarded value was £29,500, inclusive of the stated procurement value and in GBP. The contract period ran from 11 September 2026 to 12 September 2026. Simmons & Simmons LLP was the sole named supplier and the award status is active. The published procurement information describes the requirement as legal services for Project Master, with the work evaluated through the request-for-proposals process. No lots or separate awards are identified. The buyer was British Patient Capital Limited, based in Sheffield.

This award indicates demand from British Patient Capital for specialist legal support connected with investment activity and project transactions. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a strong corporate, finance and investment-law practice able to advise on proposed investments, prepare and review transaction documentation, and respond to a formal request-for-proposals process. The selected supplier was a large legal firm, so comparable institutional capacity, experienced fee earners and the ability to provide coordinated advice would be relevant. Firms should be able to work with a development-bank group and understand its investment instructions, governance and public-sector ownership context. The work was delivered for a Sheffield-based buyer and concerned activity in Yorkshire and the Humber, making relevant regional presence or effective delivery arrangements commercially useful.
