Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England bought recruitment assessment services in London. The requirement is a call-off under the RM6288 Workforce Solutions framework, covering the provision of services used to assess candidates as part of recruitment. It is classified as recruitment services and falls within the services category. The buyer is the Bank of England, with delivery in London. The procurement concerns a specific workforce-support requirement rather than the supply of goods, construction or general consultancy. It may therefore be relevant to recruitment agencies, assessment specialists and workforce solutions providers with the ability to deliver recruitment assessment services for a major financial institution in London. The published requirement identifies Alexander Mann Solutions as the supplier for this call-off.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids had to be submitted by 19 June 2026 at 12:00. Alexander Mann Solutions received the award on 10 August 2026 for £354,212, with the contract running from 28 August 2026 to 27 August 2028. A separate award under the same process was made to Alexander Mann Solutions on 12 June 2025 for £139,000,000, covering 23 July 2025 to 22 July 2029. The procurement’s stated estimated value is £354,212. The recorded outcome shows one supplier for each award. No award cancellation or contract termination is recorded.

This procurement is useful market evidence for recruitment assessment providers tracking Bank of England demand. The buyer uses the RM6288 Workforce Solutions framework and has selected a large specialist supplier, Alexander Mann Solutions, for both recorded awards. A credible future competitor would therefore need access to the relevant framework route, established recruitment assessment capability and the organisational capacity to support a major financial institution in London. The awards indicate both a substantial wider workforce-solutions requirement and a smaller dedicated call-off, so suppliers should be able to operate at different scales while maintaining consistent delivery. Relevant businesses include large recruitment firms, specialist assessment providers and workforce solutions organisations with comparable public-sector or regulated-client experience.
