## Summary

British Business Bank PLC procured direct valuation services for investments. The requirement falls within evaluation consultancy services and concerns the valuation of investment assets or holdings for the bank’s purposes. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is based in Sheffield, England. This is a professional services opportunity for firms specialising in investment valuation, financial analysis and related consultancy, rather than for suppliers of physical goods or construction services. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist consultancies may be able to provide an appropriate service. The selected supplier is based in Brooklyn, New York, demonstrating that the requirement can be delivered by an international specialist as well as by a UK-based consultancy.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through an open procedure described as below threshold. The deadline for tenders was 30 April 2026, and the contract was awarded on that date. Chronograph, LLC was selected as the supplier. The awarded contract value is £170,000. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 20 August 2028. The published procurement value is also £170,000. The process covered a single requirement for direct investment valuations, with no separate lots identified. The available evaluation information establishes an open competitive route and confirms SME suitability; the requirement was treated as a services procurement. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of British Business Bank PLC’s demand for specialist investment valuation support delivered over a substantial multi-year engagement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in direct valuations for investments, robust financial modelling and valuation methodologies, and the ability to produce defensible, well-documented advice for a public-sector financial institution. Capacity to manage recurring or varied valuation assignments across the United Kingdom would be relevant, alongside strong quality control, clear reporting and dependable delivery. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs, so a focused specialist consultancy could compete if it can demonstrate sufficient technical depth, financial-sector experience and operational resilience for the requirement.
