Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England procured security systems maintenance and related equipment supply for its premises across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers planned and reactive maintenance of existing and future security equipment, together with the design and supply of new equipment for upgrades or new installations. It is a services-led requirement with a goods element, covering surveillance and security systems, devices and their repair and maintenance (CPV 35120000 and 50610000). The requirement may also support security systems at new Bank premises as its Leeds presence expands. The buyer is the Bank of England, a central government public authority. The work is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and relates to the Bank’s operational security infrastructure rather than general facilities management.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Esotec Ltd on 9 July 2026; the contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and is active. It was run as an above-threshold open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, with three bids received and one reaching the final stage. The awarded contract value is £4,996,387.06 including VAT (£4,163,655.88 excluding VAT). The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with an option to extend for a further two years, to 31 August 2031. Evaluation gave 50% to price and 50% to quality, including planned and reactive maintenance methods, equipment design and supply, resourcing, performance and contract management, continuous improvement, social value and related delivery approaches. Additional similar services may be directly awarded under the contract.

This award shows that the Bank of England requires an integrated security systems specialist able to maintain installed equipment, respond to faults, design and supply new systems, and support upgrades across multiple premises. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical experience, relevant contract examples, financial capacity, suitable insurance, data protection and business continuity arrangements, alongside strong health and safety, quality assurance, equality, modern slavery, ESG and anti-bribery controls. The stated technical requirements include HID Advantage Partner, Software House C-Cure 9000 Enterprise Level, Avigilon Platinum or Gold partner, NSI Gold membership or accreditation, Idemia training and Tyco Software House Enterprise accreditation, or equivalent standards meeting or exceeding those requested. The evaluation also rewards robust resourcing, performance management, continuous improvement, strategic advice and social value, so suppliers need capability beyond reactive repairs alone.
