Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Bank of England, involves an amendment to an existing contract for the provision of private medical insurance services. Classified under financial and insurance services, this tender relates to a previously established relationship and contract extension, with services expected to continue until 31 March 2027. The procurement stage has reached the award and contract update phase, with AXA PPP Healthcare Group Ltd continuing as the supplier. The procurement process is rooted in the legal framework of Directive 2014/24/EU and Regulation 72(1)(b) PCR 2015, allowing modifications such as the extension and financial adjustments. The scope of services covers the UK region, with the contract's total value now standing at £115,380,000.

This tender offers growth opportunities particularly for businesses involved in financial and insurance services, as it involves a large-scale service contract with significant financial value. Companies capable of managing extensive healthcare insurance plans and capable of offering innovative funding models like 'General Stop Loss' could effectively compete. The tender's modifications underline a demand for adaptability and value-additions within contractual frameworks, presenting an opportunity for businesses to engage in long-term service provision with the Bank of England. The location-specific requirement caters to businesses with operations or interests in the UK market.
