Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Blast vulnerability assessment" was conducted by the Bank of England, located in London, England. This assessment falls under the health and safety services category and involved evaluating potential threats around and within the building. The tender process was initiated via a direct procurement method, described as a single tender action below the threshold, and is now in the award stage with a completed status. The assessment was scheduled to occur within a single day, starting and ending on the 6th of August, 2025. The value of the contract stands at £58,893 GBP, and the work was expected to be carried out at the postal code EC2R 8AH. The Bank of England was seeking solutions to enhance safety measures, aligning this opportunity with its ongoing facilities management contracts.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in security and risk assessment, particularly those that provide specialised health and safety services. Although the procurement was closed to SMEs and VCSEs, larger companies with expertise in vulnerability assessments, like OVE ARUP & PARTNERS LIMITED, who was ultimately awarded the contract, could find similar future opportunities beneficial for growth. Such contracts can help firms establish a foothold in the government sector, enhancing their portfolio and demonstrating capabilities in handling complex safety assessments, thus facilitating further business developments and collaborations.
