## Summary

The British Business Bank bought Microsoft software, classified as software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). This is a goods requirement for software provision rather than a wider IT services or implementation contract. The buyer is based in Sheffield. The stated delivery coverage spans the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, indicating that the software requirement is not confined to a single local site. The procurement description refers to Microsoft software and says it was arranged through the Government Commercial Agency’s TEPAS 2 national aggregation, giving the requirement a centrally aggregated purchasing context.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Phoenix Software Ltd. The award was made on 14 July 2026, at a value of £4,767,467. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The tender submission deadline was 15 June 2026. The purchase was made through the Government Commercial Agency’s TEPAS 2 national aggregation; the recorded procedure details do not identify a specific procedure or method. The procurement is treated as one software requirement, with no separate lots recorded. The available information does not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions, so the award basis cannot be described further.

This award demonstrates substantial, multi-year demand from the British Business Bank for Microsoft software, with delivery requirements spanning the UK and locations beyond it. Phoenix Software Ltd, a large supplier, won the contract, indicating that the requirement was met by a supplier able to serve a broad geographic footprint and support an organisation-wide software purchase at significant scale. The national aggregation route is also commercially relevant: suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to understand the applicable central purchasing arrangements and be able to supply Microsoft software through them. Credibility for future work of this kind will depend on capacity to fulfil a sizeable, multi-year software requirement across varied locations; the procurement does not identify specific technical accreditations or other qualification thresholds.
