According to one source, the relaunch was in 2006.

I thought there was at least one attempt, if not two, to revive the Biba label in the 80s/90s. Its sort of like Halston in the States - there has been at least two attempts to revive it since its original demise.

Could be, Jonathan. All online sources so far shows 2006 as the earliest of the relaunches.

Yes, they were doing lots of things, House of Fraser own the Biba trademarks and there have been new applications/renewals in 1983, 1992 and 1995 and the latest being 2009. These are all for a variety of goods including clothes, shoes and jewellery, you can click each one for specifics.
