UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Legal Services," was initiated by the Bank of England, a central government public authority, seeking legal services within its organisation. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically legal advisory and information services, and is located in the United Kingdom, specifically London. The procurement method used was direct and below threshold, carried out without competition. The procurement stage is complete, with a contract awarded to Addleshaw Goddard LLP. The contract commenced on 11th May 2026 and will end on 11th May 2027, with a total contract value of £240,000, inclusive of taxes.

This procurement offers opportunities for businesses specialising in legal advisory services to potentially engage with the Bank of England for future services. While this particular tender was awarded directly due to its below-threshold status, similar opportunities might arise where expertise in legal advisory and information services is required. Large-scale firms experienced in servicing public authorities, especially in central government sectors, would be well-suited to compete for such opportunities, offering a pathway for growth by building a robust portfolio of high-profile clients. Ensuring readiness for similar opportunities can position a business favourably for direct or competitive procurements in the future.
