Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "ATS Project Design" was conducted by the Bank of England, a central government public authority located in London. This procurement, concerning services in the engineering design services industry, specifically related to mechanical and electrical installations for buildings, resulted in an awarded contract. Positioned in the planning and electrical infrastructure market, this contract required the design of Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) for the Bank's control room. The procurement method employed was direct, and the process was completed without competition, based on a 'below threshold' approach. The contract was awarded on 7th January 2026, with the project period set from the same start date to 27th February 2026.

For businesses specialising in engineering and design services, particularly those focused on electrical and mechanical systems, this procurement presents significant growth opportunities. AECOM Limited, a large-scale engineering company, successfully secured this contract, indicating that firms with similar capabilities and expertise could potentially target such contracts in future processes. Engaging in such tenders can provide a solid foothold in the public sector market, especially for companies that can offer innovative solutions in sophisticated engineering design and installation. The project's scope within the United Kingdom underscores the potential for businesses to increase their operational footprint in large-scale government projects.
