Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England is planning to initiate a tender for the "PRA Rulebook" project, which aims to develop an advanced Rulebook platform by 2023 to enhance the accessibility and navigation of regulatory content post-EU withdrawal. This procurement falls under the IT services category and has a total budget of £2,500,000, with the contract period starting from 1st March 2022 and concluding on 20th February 2027. Key notices regarding this opportunity are scheduled for publication, with a future notice expected on 28th June 2021, detailing subsequent steps in the procurement process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consulting, software development, and content management services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The Bank of England is specifically looking to foster partnerships for the technical development of the Rulebook, making this an ideal opportunity for companies that can leverage digital technologies and provide innovative solutions within the public sector framework, such as G-Cloud or Digital Outcomes & Specialists frameworks.

Notice Information

Notice Title

PRA Rulebook

Notice Description

A new and improved Rulebook platform will be implemented in 2023 as a vital step towards achieving a single, coherent Rulebook post-EU withdrawal. The new Rulebook will allow for easier navigation of content, and will benefit from the latest digital developments, including making content more accessible, where possible, in machine-readable format. As a first stage, the PRA will develop internal capabilities in line with the 'hybrid' option considered in the recent 'Request For Information' activity. We will look to build the system in-house using the Bank's strategic CMS (Sitecore) and hosting infrastructure (Azure), and by utilising existing resources. In addition the Bank will look to perform its own editorial work. For stage two, we intend to undertake a procurement event in mid-2022, in order to establish a partnership for technical development and support. We anticipate looking with interest at a potential award under a technology public procurement framework such as Digital Outcomes & Specialists, or G-Cloud. The Bank will make every effort to alert you when this process begins.
