Yes, though it cost more than the BBC. Its raison d'etre was to run CP/M.
There was also an 8088 (maybe even an 8086 ?) coprocessor available - the
Torch. Its raison d'etre, unsurprisingly, was to run MS-DOS.

ported to the Acorn ARM boxes which were the inheritors of the BBC' mantle
and were widely used in U.K. education.
