This procurement will support organisational growth and meet regulatory obligations by consolidating risk data into a single platform. The procurement category is classified under services, specifically compliance software development services. Planned to be completed by 31st October 2032, the total contract period begins on 31st October 2026. Although this preliminary stage involves a market engagement questionnaire due by 24th April 2026, interested parties should note that future notices will be accessible after 18th May 2026. The procurement process, deemed above-threshold, is being conducted in the United Kingdom, with the project's central location in Sheffield. This tender provides a compelling opportunity for businesses specialising in GRC software solutions, particularly those with expertise in compliance software development. Companies that can deliver scalable platforms, capable of enhancing operational efficiency and strengthening oversight, will find significant potential for business growth through this contract. As the British Business Bank Plc intends to move away from multiple systems and improve data synergy, firms with proven capabilities in data integration and management are well-positioned to benefit from this engagement. Given the high-profile nature of the buying organisation and the considerable contract value of £1,320,000 gross, this procurement process promises substantial exposure and long-term contractual opportunities within the public sector's central government segment. ## Notice The Authority aims to procure a scalable, integrated Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) software solution, capable of supporting its organisational growth and any required regulatory obligations. The solution is intended to consolidate risk data from across the Authority into a single platform that strengthens oversight, enhances analysis & reporting, improves operational efficiency, and ensures accountability. A GRC tool may also provide the opportunity to identify data synergies and move away from several systems used across the Authority. Purpose of the notice The Authority's aim in issuing this Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire is to: Understand market capability, maturity and suitability Understand delivery approaches, risk and commercial viability Identify gaps, assumptions and market insights Responses gathered through this questionnaire will inform the Authority's approach to procuring a scalable, integrated Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) software solution capable of supporting organisational growth and meeting current and future regulatory obligations. ### Planning Information Engagement via one-way questionnaire.
