The procurement process for the "Provision of Infoblox Network Infrastructure" was undertaken by the Bank of England. With a classification under Network Infrastructure (CPV code: 32424000), this contract falls within the goods category and pertains to technology services essential for the infrastructure support in England, United Kingdom. The contract was valued at £83,134.34 and was awarded on 10th December 2025, with the procurement method being selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract period starting on 22nd December 2025 and running until 29th April 2027.

While the call-off from a framework agreement suggests that pre-qualified suppliers were considered, companies with large-scale capabilities like Softcat PLC, who succeeded in securing the contract, are well-suited for such opportunities. Businesses that can meet rigorous technical specifications and demonstrate reliability in delivering infrastructure solutions within the specified region would benefit from engaging in similar tender processes.
