UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "Provision of iReporting Renewal 2026/27" was led by the Bank of England, a central government public authority located at Threadneedle Street, London. This process falls under the services industry category, specifically IT services, and aimed at the renewal of a third-party application used for HR management information. The procurement stage has been completed, with the contract awarded on 20th January 2026. Following a direct procurement method, conducted below the competition threshold, the contract was awarded to Activ8 Intelligence Limited, with operations to begin on 31st January 2026 and continue until 30th January 2027. The overall contract value is £39,000, with provisions for potential additional services.

This contract presents growth opportunities particularly for large firms specialising in IT services, including consulting, software development, Internet, and support functions. Since the procurement was completed using a direct method, it highlights the importance of building strong relationships with public authorities for similar future opportunities. Businesses that can offer specialised software development and management solutions, especially those that can propose value-add services for human resources technology, would find working with the Bank of England advantageous. Additionally, there can be future avenues for consultancy and support services, considering the need for configuration and development work as indicated in the contract options.
