## Summary

The British Business Bank procured a digital board portal: a secure, cloud-based subscription for delivering board and committee papers to directors and committee members. The requirement covers software and information systems rather than physical goods or construction. The service is intended to provide an efficient, controlled way to prepare, distribute and access papers for board and committee meetings. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, for the British Business Bank, a central government public authority based in Sheffield. The selected supplier, Diligent Boardbooks Limited, is based in London and provides the portal service. The requirement is relevant to suppliers offering secure cloud software for board administration, committee governance, document distribution and controlled access to sensitive organisational papers.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. Diligent Boardbooks Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 21 August 2026 to 20 August 2028. Its value is £129,638.96 excluding VAT, or £155,566.75 including VAT. The procurement was categorised as goods, with the underlying requirement classified as software packages and information systems. The tender reached completion before this contract-details release was published on 17 September 2026. The award relates to the full digital board portal requirement, covering the cloud subscription for board and committee papers. The published outcome identifies one active supplier and one active contract.

This outcome demonstrates demand for a secure, cloud-based board and committee paper platform within a UK central government-backed financial institution. Competitors would need a mature subscription service that can distribute sensitive papers efficiently to directors and committee members, with dependable access controls and the operational resilience expected of a hosted system. Relevant strengths include board-governance workflows, document management, secure user access, committee administration and support for organisations with formal oversight structures. Suppliers should also be able to deliver across the United Kingdom and manage a multi-year public-sector service relationship. The selected provider is recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be met by a specialist software business rather than only by a large systems integrator. Experience serving boards, committees or regulated organisations would strengthen credibility when this requirement next reaches the market.
