The procurement process is currently at the award stage, with the contract having been awarded on 12th August 2025. The contract period is set to begin on 8th September 2025 and will conclude on 7th September 2028.

The Bank of England contracted Comensura Ltd for this zero-commitment master services agreement, with a total contract value of £100,000,000.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those capable of providing recruitment services, to engage with a high-profile contracting authority like the Bank of England. The scope and magnitude of the contract suggest benefits for large-scale recruitment companies capable of fulfilling comprehensive service agreements. However, the procurement also indicates specific suitability for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within this sector.
