Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England, located in London, has completed the procurement process for a "Programme Assurance Service" with PA Consulting as the awarded supplier. This procurement falls under the business analysis consultancy services category (CPV 72221000) and covers the service region within England, UK. The process was conducted via a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement, concluding with an active award status on 12 August 2025, for a contract period from 19 August 2025 to 18 August 2026. The total contract value is £1,000,000.

This tender provides a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those offering business analysis services. The call-off framework approach suggests that companies already part of the framework are well-positioned to benefit from similar future opportunities. Although the Bank of England is a large-scale buyer and prefers large suppliers like PA Consulting, it indicates suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as potential competitors, thus offering a pathway for business growth within a regulated financial environment.
