## Summary

British Business Bank Plc procured training services covering AI Governance Certification, Freedom of Information (FOI) Certification and GDPR Practitioner Certification. The requirement is for certification training courses, serving the bank’s staff or other relevant learners. The buyer is based in Sheffield, and the stated delivery location is Yorkshire and the Humber. The bank is wholly owned by the UK Government and operates as a development bank. The procurement concerns professional training rather than the purchase of software, consultancy or general banking services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Act Now Training Limited. The award was made on 1 October 2026, at a value of £28,800. The contract runs from 13 October 2026 to 12 October 2029. The tender’s estimated value was also £28,800, and submissions closed on 5 October 2026. The procurement method is recorded as “Other”, without further explanation. The published information identifies one award and no lots. Training services were the procurement category; the supplied details do not describe an evaluation formula or selection requirements.

For a supplier considering this buyer’s future training needs, the award indicates demand for certification courses spanning AI governance, freedom of information and GDPR practice. A credible competitor would need to deliver structured training that prepares learners for recognised certifications across these subjects, and to cover the combination of information governance and data protection alongside AI governance. The selected supplier was a large organisation, while the buyer marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Those are relevant signals about the buyer’s stated fit for this procurement, rather than a detailed account of mandatory qualifications or delivery capacity. Providers with experience delivering this specific mix of compliance and governance training would be closest to the requirement. There is no stated evidence of a required accreditation beyond the certifications named.
