Planning Information
As part of the tender process, the Bank is undertaking a preliminary market engagement exercise. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders to introduce themselves and express an interest in the opportunity. This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. Please note that the contract value included in this Notice is estimated and does not act as a commitment of spend by the Bank. There are no planned events during the preliminary market engagement exercise. Interested parties are to register their interest, forward any introductory information, and feed in any comments they have to: fm.contracts@bankofengland.co.uk by 10 April 2026 with a subject line: M&E Advisory Services Framework.
