This initiative seeks to enhance diversity in angel investing across the UK. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an anticipated contract duration of up to four years starting on 1st September 2026. The notice was published on 11th May 2026, and interested parties have until 10th July 2026 to express their interest. The procurement follows an open, competitive, flexible procedure, with stages including an invitation to tender and presentations. The services fall under the banking and investment services, business and management consultancy, and education and training categories, catering to regions across the UK. This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in educational and consultancy services, particularly those that can contribute to training within the investment sector. Suitable candidates would ideally be experienced in developing modular training programmes that aim to support diverse and novice angel investors while meeting specific quality standards. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, with the procurement valuing quality at 80% and price at 20%. The project budget is up to £200,000, providing a promising prospect for businesses seeking to expand their portfolios into the public sector and engage in enhancing diversity within financial investments. ## Notice Background - The Diverse Angel Syndicate (DAS) Programme supports the development and sustainability of diversity-focused angel syndicates across the UK. The programme aims to broaden participation in angel investing, increase investment into diverse founders, and strengthen the capability of emerging angel syndicates across the UK nations and regions. DAS places a particular emphasis on engaging and supporting new and novice angels, with the aim of broadening access to angel investing as an asset class and improving confidence, capability and participation among underrepresented groups. The programme is expected to support approximately 10-15 syndicates, delivered through three cohorts of up to five syndicates each, in addition to the current cohort of five. Successful applicants will receive a package of financial and non-financial support, including funding for operational costs, training and capability-building, guidance on operational tooling and infrastructure, and access to peer learning and ecosystem connections through the programme. Tender Description - As part of the non-financial support offer, British Business Bank Plc ("British Business Bank" or "BBB" or "Buyer) is seeking to procure a training provider to design, deliver, and support a Train-the-Trainer education programme for angel syndicate leads across the United Kingdom. The aim of this programme is to upskill syndicate leads to deliver consistent, high-quality training to their own syndicate members. BBB anticipates that the contract will span a period of up to four years. During this time, supported syndicates are expected to continue recruiting new angel investors on a rolling basis. As such, the training requirement is expected to be front-loaded, with an initial focus on programme design, content development and early delivery, followed by a transition to a lighter-touch model in later years. This is likely to include ongoing support, updates to training materials, and periodic engagement to maintain quality and relevance. The training offer is expected to be modular in structure and designed to: support angel activation and portfolio understanding for new / novice angels enable syndicates to tailor delivery to their own membership base establish a minimum standard of training across supported syndicates ensure clarity of purpose and avoid duplication between syndicate development and angel education Pricing estimate: Up to PS200k (excluding VAT) for the duration of the contract, with a maximum of PS120k for development and delivery within year 1 and tapered costs for ongoing maintenance and support in subsequent years. This value is indicative only and subject to refinement. The Authority is using Pre-Market Engagement exercise to further inform the scope, delivery model and commercial approach, including pricing. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043061-2026 | | Notice type | UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | 25 Jun 2026 | | Future notice date | 15 Jun 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2026 - 31 Aug 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | £200,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRITISH BUSINESS BANK PLC | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2GQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 66100000 - Banking and investment services - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80510000 - Specialist training services ## Release History - 11 May 2026 at 13:49 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043061-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043061-2026 11th May 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
