Financial services software company Bravura Solutions will need to bid against itself for a second time if it is to have any chance of securing a board recommendation from target GBST Holdings.

Street Talk understands GBST's board will meet to consider Bravura's revised $2.72 a share all cash offer, which trumped an earlier scrip and cash proposal that valued its target at $2.50 a share.
