Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England, based in London, England, has completed the procurement process for providing legal advisory services related to technology. Classified under the CPV code for legal services, this contract falls within the services category. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically calling off from a framework agreement. Having passed the tender stage, the award was officially active on 29th April 2025, with the procurement reaching completion. The contract is valued at £250,000 and spans from 29th April 2025 to 22nd April 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in legal services, particularly those positioned to advise on technology-related matters. While the awarded supplier, Burges Salmon LLP, is a large firm, the opportunity for future contracts from framework agreements may interest mid-sized firms looking to establish a foothold in governmental contracts. Firms that are adept in legal frameworks surrounding technology would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders, potentially leading to business growth and diversification in public sector engagements.
