Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England procured market data, information and research, together with a trading platform and related products and services. The scope includes market news, financial security data, analytics and historical data. This is a financial information and market research service (CPV 79310000), for use by the Bank of England at its Threadneedle Street premises in London. The selected supplier is London Stock Exchange Group plc, a large company. The requirement combines access to market content and research with a platform for trading and associated data products, so it is relevant to providers able to deliver these services as an integrated offering.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to London Stock Exchange Group plc on 21 December 2023 through a direct award. The contract value is £20,409,156. The contracted period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030, with an optional extension of up to four years, subject to defined break clauses; the Bank of England intends to exercise this option under the contractual terms. The original submission deadline was 18 September 2023. The published information identifies market research services as the category and gives no separate lot structure or evaluation criteria. The award records one selected supplier and an active award.

For suppliers tracking the Bank of England’s recurring requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a joined-up market information service rather than a single data feed. A credible competitor would need to combine dependable access to market data, financial security information, market news, analytics and historical data with a trading platform and related products and support. The incumbent is a large financial-market operator, indicating that the requirement was met by a supplier able to provide a broad, integrated portfolio. Providers should assess whether they can match that breadth and serve the Bank’s research and trading needs as one coherent service. The direct-award route is also relevant context for understanding how this specific requirement was placed.
