Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England issued a direct award contract for "Debden Chiller Maintenance", focusing on preventive maintenance services for chillers critical to the operation of their data centres. This procurement process falls under the services category and was conducted through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, as competition was absent for technical reasons. The contract was signed on 1st April 2022, with a value of £194,659.32. The relevant location for delivery of services is within the UK, specifically at the Bank's facilities in London.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in maintenance and repair services, particularly those with expertise in cooling systems and data centre operations.

Engaging with high-value contracts like this can help suppliers expand their portfolio and expertise within the public sector, fostering business growth in the critical infrastructure domain.
