This procurement falls under the industry category of investment management software packages and is located in the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £700,000 with a gross amount of £840,000, is currently in the planning stage, with a preliminary market engagement notice published on 22nd May 2026. Interested parties are invited to participate in pre-market engagement to assist in refining the requirements for the subsequent competitive procurement process. The deadline for submission of the engagement questionnaire is 5th June 2026, with the contract expected to commence on 1st January 2027 and conclude by 31st December 2031. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial technology, particularly those offering investment management software solutions. Companies with a strong track record in deploying software to manage investment and capital deployment can leverage this opportunity to expand their portfolio by engaging with a central government authority. The programme aims to attract private sector investment into early-stage and high-growth UK firms, offering a substantial market potential for software providers to assist in enhancing the Bank's investment capabilities. Businesses that can deliver on complex software needs for both general and direct investment programmes will be well-positioned to capitalise on this procurement. ## Notice The British Business Bank investment business deploys government-backed capital through fund of funds investment products, acting as both a General and Limited Partner and direct/co-investment programmes to improve access to finance for smaller UK businesses. The Investments Business includes 115 front office full time equivalents (FTE) and a wider set of functions require the ability to view the information held within its Contact and Pipeline management solution (circa 40 users). The Bank has also established the British Growth Partnership within the investments business, to crowd in long-term institutional capital such as UK Pension Funds into high-growth UK companies. Our role is to attract additional private-sector investment into underserved parts of the market, particularly early-stage, high-growth, and regionally distributed businesses, helping firms start, scale, and remain in the UK while addressing structural funding gaps in the SME finance ecosystem.
