Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England has completed a procurement process for the provision of Jira & Confluence licenses, classified under the Software package and information systems industry category. The procurement followed a selective method, conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement. This contract was awarded to Softcat PLC, commencing on 2nd March 2026 and running until 2nd March 2027. With a total contract value of £132,203.62, the procurement was situated in England with no suitability for SMEs or VCSE organisations.
