GB-Sheffield: Debt Management Services

About the buyer

British Business Bank is a government-owned economic development bank and non-departmental public body, wholly owned by the Department for Business and Trade. A supplier management policy sets out how the Bank runs its contracts. Procurement follows the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023. Larger opportunities are advertised through the Find a Tender service. Public sector frameworks let suppliers win call-off contracts through mini-competitions. A contracts register, updated every six months, lists what the Bank has awarded. Monthly spend above a set threshold is published for transparency. Suppliers can also read the Bank's guide to public sector tendering.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of British Business Bank's contract awards have been in business services, financial and insurance services and software and information systems.
