Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England has concluded a procurement process titled "Services Management" under the industry category of Benefit Services, classified with CPV code 75310000. The procurement, which operates under the legal framework CELEX 32014L0024, was initiated as a tender process focusing on the location of the United Kingdom. The plan was executed using a restricted procedure, a form of selective procurement method. The contract, signed on 30th May 2023, is active until 9th April 2031, with an overall value of £1,493,624, including an upgrade cost of £293,624 over the last four years. Initially valued at £1,200,000, the contract extension was necessary to integrate existing systems and upgrade the proprietary modules held by the supplier, Benifex Limited, operating from Hampshire, UK. The project was coordinated by the Bank of England, an entity managed under public law in London.

This procurement presents expansive business growth opportunities, primarily for large-scale companies with expertise in benefit services and integrated systems. The long-term contract offers stability and the potential for ongoing collaboration with a prestigious public institution like the Bank of England. Companies providing online employee benefit management and brokerage services are well-positioned to thrive under such contracts, given the demand for innovative and user-friendly solutions. The UK-based focus enables local businesses to leverage their proximity and understanding of regional business mechanisms while the restricted procedure of the tender emphasizes excellent quality in service provision supplemented with competitive pricing criteria, with the weightage set at 80% for quality and 20% for price.
