UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England has completed a direct award procurement process for a service title called "Moody's Structured Finance", which involves access to Moody's Structured Finance portal and an Excel plugin. The contracting process, classified under financial consultancy services, concluded with an award value of GBP 754,505.28, excluding VAT. The procurement stage is in the Award phase, with the contract beginning on 30th April 2026 and concluding on 29th April 2029. The Bank of England, a central government authority located in London, led the procurement under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. The award was issued to Moody's Analytics UK Limited, a London-based large-scale enterprise, following a rationale for a direct award due to technical reasons, with a standstill period ending on 16th April 2026.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses in financial consultancy services, especially those capable of providing specialised financial analysis tools and platforms. Although the award has already been granted, understanding the requirements and structuring services to meet similar business needs can present future opportunities for enterprises aiming to secure government contracts. Businesses focusing on financial technology solutions and with a capability to deliver critical services directly or in collaboration with larger entities like Moody's would be well-positioned to compete in similar procurements.
