Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England procured specialist SAP support services to provide resource for its systems, applications and processing. The work is UK-based. This is a focused technology support requirement for suppliers with expertise in SAP environments and the ability to provide specialist personnel to support the Bank’s systems. The procurement is classified as IT services, covering consulting, software development, internet and support services; the stated requirement is specifically for specialist resource support. The Bank of England is the buying organisation. The tender was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier, EPI-USE Limited, is itself recorded as an SME.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to EPI-USE Limited. The award date was 28 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. Its value is £1,375,784. The Bank used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The stated tender submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was for services, with a single requirement for specialist SAP support. The award data records one selected supplier and one award; no separate lot-level awards are stated. The contract period and value relate to this award. The process outcome shows that EPI-USE Limited was selected to deliver the support service.

For suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement when it next comes to market, the award demonstrates demand from the Bank of England for specialist SAP resource to support systems, applications and processing. A credible competitor would need demonstrable SAP expertise and the capacity to provide suitably skilled personnel for sustained support within a major financial institution. The successful supplier was an SME, and the original opportunity was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that this type of specialist service can be delivered by a smaller supplier. The route was a call-off from a framework agreement, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete through that route would be commercially important. Experience supporting business-critical systems would align with the scope, though the procurement does not state specific accreditations or technical credentials.
