Opportunity overview

The British Business Bank is undertaking pre-market engagement to inform a potential future procurement for a Microsoft 365 governance, operating model and AI readiness assessment. The Bank has used Microsoft 365 as a strategic collaboration and productivity platform since 2014. The estate has grown significantly and now supports collaboration, document management, knowledge sharing and operational processes across the organisation. The purpose of this engagement is to test market capability and inform the scope, approach and commercial model for an independent discovery and assessment engagement covering Microsoft 365 governance, operating arrangements, platform maturity and readiness to safely scale and adopt AI-enabled capabilities, including Microsoft Copilot. A primary purpose of this engagement exercise is to better understand market capability and pricing. The estimated contract value will be determined following completion of the engagement exercise, hence the current £0 value within this notice. The British Business Bank is seeking an independent review of its Microsoft 365 estate to establish a clear understanding of how the platform is currently configured, governed and operated, and to support the development of a sustainable, secure and AI-ready Microsoft 365 environment. The review will consider the people, processes, governance arrangements and technical capabilities associated with the Bank's Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

Description
Engagement via one-way questionnaire. This Pre-market engagement notice is to gather information from the market to inform the British Business Bank procurement strategy, including establishing the likely contract value and understanding pricing models. Due to significant variation in current market pricing, it is not currently possible to produce a robust estimate of the contract value. A value of £0 has been entered as a placeholder and should not be interpreted as the anticipated contract value. The notice has been published as above threshold to maximise market awareness and transparency while the British Business Bank determines whether the proposed procurement will exceed the applicable threshold. Publication above threshold does not predetermine the procurement route or confirm that the future potential procurement will be above threshold. Information gathered will be used to inform British Business Bank future procurement approach in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. This stage is not mandatory for suppliers however those wishing to engage in this questionnaire please go to https;//www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/5844EG3V49 Should British Business Bank have any concerns, queries or clarifications with your response to the questionnaire, we may reach out to you. Please note we anticipate a high volume of interest in this exercise, and will therefore be unable to address supplier questions or attend individual supplier meetings as part of this stage.
