Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England has completed the procurement process for the provision of professional technology training services. The contract, facilitated through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, has awarded Softcat PLC the opportunity to deliver technical training services in England, beginning on 10th November 2025, and concluding on 9th November 2026. The overall value of the contract stands at GBP 35,908.99. This procurement process was in the award stage as of 3rd December 2025, following the tender period that ended on 7th November 2025. This represents a significant opportunity within the "services" category for businesses specialising in technology training within the United Kingdom.

The procurement creates substantial opportunities for large-scale organisations that can deliver comprehensive technical training services. Companies with expertise in technology training, looking to expand their footprint in the industry, are well-positioned to compete in such frameworks. Although this contract is specifically not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with scale and a robust capability to fulfill long-term training objectives as required by prominent institutions like the Bank of England can benefit significantly from contracts of this nature, establishing a foothold in high-profile assignments and leveraging the chance for further growth in the sector.
