What is being bought

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.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Investment management software package (48411000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 482,6801 median · 5.9 average (831 of 2,680 with a bid count)1.5 average (903 of 2,680 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2363 median · 3 average (1 of 236 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 236 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
