## Summary

British Business Bank Plc procured font licensing services for the BR Hendrix typeface. The requirement covers five font styles with unlimited usage across printed materials, websites, mobile applications, digital advertising, servers, broadcasting, social media and third-party use. This is a specialist digital and creative licensing requirement, classified under software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000), rather than a general design or software development contract. The buyer is British Business Bank Plc, a government-owned development bank based in Sheffield. Delivery is identified in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The requirement supports the bank and its wider group’s communications and digital activities across multiple channels.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a tender process. Bids were due by 22 July 2026, and Indian Type Foundry LLP was awarded the contract on 23 July 2026. The awarded value is £28,600. The contract runs from 20 September 2026 to 19 September 2031. The award covers the full requirement for five BR Hendrix font styles and unlimited use across print, web, mobile apps, digital advertising, servers, broadcasting, social media and third parties. The recorded procurement category is services. The award is active, with British Business Bank Plc as the buyer and Indian Type Foundry LLP as the selected supplier.

This award shows sustained demand from British Business Bank Plc for a controlled typeface licence supporting a broad communications estate. A credible future supplier would need to own, control or be authorised to grant the relevant font rights, and be able to define unlimited usage clearly across print, websites, mobile applications, advertising, servers, broadcasting, social media and third-party activity. It would also need to manage licensing across a large organisation and its wider group, understand digital font deployment, and provide rights that remain workable over a long operating period. Specialist type foundries, font licensors and agencies with established font-rights capability are the closest fit.
