British Business Bank plc (British Business Bank or BBB) is seeking to appoint a provider of Fraud & Financial Crime Technology solution as described in the specification.

British Business Bank plc (British Business Bank or BBB) is seeking to appoint a provider of Fraud & Financial Crime Technology solution as described in the specification.

British Business Bank (‘the Bank’) is seeking to review and appoint an agency to deliver media planning, buying, campaign delivery and optimisation across the Bank’s paid media channels, providing outcome-based, end-to-end national and regional campaign management. This also includes delivery of campaigns for its Start Up Loans programme. Historically, this was operated by a separate agency; with media buying and planning consolidated into a single agency for the Bank back in 2020. Over the past 5 years it has been managed alongside the wider Bank’s paid media campaigns but still planned and bought separately. The expectation is for further consolidation so that it becomes a key aspect of an overall Bank media strategy moving forward. Over the last few years, the Banks media activity has followed an ‘always on’ approach to help improve knowledge and understanding of ‘access to finance’ amongst SME’s, via the combination of supporting Brand, Content and Product. This has been part of the Marketing Engagement and Demand strategy in order to deliver against the Bank’s objectives: driving sustainable growth, backing innovation, unlocking potential and building the modern green economy. In order to do this, one of our key enablers is that of Customer Centricity – placing customers at the heart of everything we do.

The British Business Bank (BBB) is the UK economic development bank with an objective of making finance markets work better for small businesses. The BBB typically operates on a wholesale basis through the existing financial ecosystem with lenders partnering with the BBB in areas that increase the supply, diversity and regionality of finance for UK SMEs. Structured Guarantees (SGs) is one of the wholesale product offerings provided by the BBB. It primarily supports the BBB’s objectives by aiming to increase the availability of finance to UK SMEs and promoting competition within the SME debt finance market. It does this by encouraging lenders to increase their lending by, for example, addressing the high capital consumption associated with such lending. SGs is branded as two separate programmes, but the underlying aims and structures are broadly the same for both: 1.ENABLE Guarantees: This programme is operated on behalf of the Department of Business and Trade (DBT). It was announced at the Government’s 2013 Autumn Statement, with the first Request for Proposals (RFP) published in 2014. The programme was initially only open to banks but expanded to include non-banks in 2019. This programme is not limited in the types of lending it can support, as long as the underlying lending is targeted at UK SMEs. Examples of the types of lending supported include secured lending against commercial property to support a business’s working capital or growth needs, dealer floorplan finance, and asset / invoice finance. 2.ENABLE Build: The programme was launched in 2019 with the BBB operating the scheme on behalf of Ministry for Housing Community and Local Government (MHCLG), the government department responsible for housebuilding. Unlike ENABLE Guarantees, the programme only supports finance going to smaller housebuilders. Under both programmes, the BBB (acting on behalf of the government) take on a portion of the risk of a portfolio of debt finance to SMEs, in return for a fee. The guarantee is priced and structured such that a positive return is expected for government under all but the most adverse economic scenarios. Lenders under the programmes are required to report monthly or quarterly on the performance of the transactions. They are required to submit loan level information across a number of fields, some of which are consistent across transactions and some of which are transaction specific. Currently, banks submit this data in three separate files, while non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) submit all data in one file across separate tabs. NBFI submissions have consistently been poor in quality and format causing significant operational inefficiencies and risk exposure. The three separate files submitted by banks contain loan-level regulatory data and BBB-specific fields, but data validation rules cannot be applied unless the data is merged, which is a manual and time-consuming process. Currently all reporting by the BBB is being done manually via excel but given the complex nature of each portfolio, the Structured Financial Institutions Solutions (SFIS) team spend a significant amount of time managing each transaction to ensure adherence to the terms of the structure. Each transaction is structured specifically for each lender which means the chosen supplier will need to independently acquire a detailed understanding of the legal documents and the terms contained within them, as well as of the underlying portfolio and data. What are our goals As the programmes scale, the BBB is looking for a partner to provide expert knowledge in structured finance transactions including independent interpretation of legal documents, translating them into automated rules which would feed into a technology solution accessible to both BBB, lenders, and a calculation agent. The objective is to streamline and de-risk the manual processes from both the perspective of the lender and the Banking Operations team. Tenderers are also directed to the Specification for the Project Requirements, as set out in Appendix 6 (Specification) of the Invitation To Participate (ITP).

The British Business Bank (the Bank) is a government-owned economic development bank that makes finance markets for smaller businesses work more effectively. Our mission is to drive economic growth by helping smaller businesses get the finance they need to start, scale and stay in the UK. In doing so, we help capture the economic value of innovation for the UK and create jobs and prosperity for people across the country. The Bank designs programmes that provide funds and guarantees to private sector partners, enabling them to finance a greater number of smaller businesses, either through debt or equity. It uses economic evidence so that its programmes address market failures affecting smaller businesses across the economy. It also works to improve smaller businesses’ awareness of the finance options available to them. Nations and Regions Investments Limited (NRIL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the British Business Bank that manages a number of investment schemes for the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), including the proposed South East Investment Fund (SEIF) and East of England Investment Fund (EEIF). NRIL is the Contracting Authority for this procurement. In the 2025 Spending Review, the Government announced an extension of the Nations and Regions Investment Funds (NRIF) programme to include £350m to be made available for the South East and the East of England regions. The funds are to be allocated according to the following split: - £210m for the South East Investment Fund (SEIF) - £140m for the East of England Investment Fund (EEIF) Within each region the funding will be split into two sub-funds: one for Equity (approximately 60% - offering early stage and later stage equity investments up to £5m); and one for Debt (approximately 40% - offering business loans of between £25,000 and £2m). A proportion of each fund will be held back (“Investor Reserve”) and may be added as additional funding (“Additional Allocation”) depending on circumstances and particular factors. Tenderers are expected to have some regional experience and a track record of funding viable Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that are looking to grow. Tenderers should be aligned to the Programme Objectives, that the funds will: - increase the supply and diversity of early-stage finance for UK smaller businesses, providing funds to firms that might otherwise not receive investment and helping to reduce disparities in access to finance; - be run in a commercially sustainable way to promote a shift away from an expectation of public sector grants towards a culture of borrowing and investing for growth; - drive sustainable economic growth through supporting new and growing businesses across the UK with an inclusive approach to all eligible sectors; - have a demonstrable presence across the relevant geographical area linking up the finance community to increase reach and create an impact beyond the funds, helping to boost productivity, innovation and jobs; - align with the Bank’s commitments to net zero by 2050 and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the distribution of finance. It is expected that NRIL will begin making investment commitments to the SEIF and EEIF Fund Managers in Summer 2026. The duration of the Contract Services will be: - Investment Period: The first 5 years of the fund during which the Fund can make new investments. This period can be extended by up to two years at the sole discretion of NRIL. - Realisation: the period beginning immediately after the Investment Period and ending on the date which is 5 years after the end of the Investment Period (which will include the ability of the SEIF and EEIF Fund Managers to make follow-on investments in portfolio businesses). This period can be extended by up to two years at the sole discretion of NRIL.

The British Business Bank (BBB) is the UK’s economic development bank, with a mission to make finance markets work better for smaller businesses. BBB typically operates on a wholesale basis, partnering with lenders within the existing financial ecosystem to increase the supply, diversity, and regional reach of finance available to UK SMEs. Start Up Loans (SUL) provides debt finance to support working capital and growth for the smallest and earliest stage businesses, driving sustainable growth and unlocking potential. Without SUL, BBB would be unable to support many entrepreneurs requiring the right type of finance to start and grow their businesses. Under the current operating model, SUL relies on a complex internal technology landscape combined with significant dependence on third party systems for loan disbursement, servicing, collections, and recoveries. This reliance restricts BBB’s ability to scale and to deliver a fully integrated and efficient lending operation. BBB therefore will become a direct lender and seek to procure a comprehensive Loan Management System (LMS) capable of fully supporting the organisation’s transition to inhouse lending operations. Tenderers are also directed to the Specification for the Project Requirements, as set out in Appendix 6 (Specification) of the Invitation To Participate (ITP).
