What the notice says

The British Business Bank is undertaking pre-market engagement to inform a potential future procurement for a Legal Case Management System. The Bank’s Legal team has identified a need to improve how legal matters, disputes, litigation deadlines, correspondence, advice and related documentation are recorded, managed and accessed. Current ways of working rely heavily on email, shared drives, individual knowledge and manual tracking, which creates operational, compliance and continuity risks. The purpose of this engagement is to test market capability and inform the scope, approach and commercial model for a potential Legal Case Management System that can support matter management, deadline tracking, secure document and correspondence management, knowledge reuse, reporting, Microsoft 365 integration and information governance requirements. The estimated contract value will be determined following completion of the engagement exercise, hence the current £0 value within this notice.
