Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for "Architect & Design Services" was managed by the Bank of England, a central government public authority located in London at Threadneedle Street. The procurement process reached its award stage as of 9th July 2026. The procurement method employed was direct, labelled as 'Below threshold - without competition,' indicating a non-competitive approach. This tender involved services within the architectural design industry category, specifically CPV code 71220000. The contract covers services set to start on 14th May 2026 and conclude on 13th September 2026, with a total contract value of £160,000 gross.

This procurement opportunity, awarded to LOM Architecture and Design Limited, provides significant growth potential for businesses specialising in architectural design services. Companies that have a strong capability in delivering high-quality architectural services would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. Even though this particular contract was awarded through a direct procurement without competition, similar public sector projects can enhance the visibility and credibility of architectural firms, particularly small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like LOM Architecture and Design Limited, when showcased as demonstrable government contract experiences. Specialists in the industry with capabilities to deliver within the London region can particularly find opportunities in similar tenders issued by large public authorities like the Bank of England.
