## Summary

British Business Bank PLC procured financial consultancy to validate inputs into its Model. The work is a focused model-validation assignment rather than a broader consultancy requirement. The buyer is based in Sheffield, and the stated delivery country is the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and SQW EBT Ltd was selected for the contract. The award was made on 30 March 2026, following a single-tender action below the threshold. The estimated and awarded value was £59,924. The contract period runs from 1 April to 30 June 2026. The tender deadline was 30 March 2026. The procurement was not divided into lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. The requirement was assessed as financial consultancy, with model-input validation as its stated scope.

For future requirements of this kind, credible suppliers will need to demonstrate financial consultancy capability focused on checking inputs to a model. The selected supplier was an SME, and SMEs were considered suitable for this work, indicating that this scale of assignment did not require a large provider. A competitor would need a clear, relevant track record in model input validation and the capacity to deliver a focused assignment for British Business Bank PLC. The route used was a single-tender action, so suppliers should recognise that the awarded process itself was not an open competition.
