UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England procured building management system maintenance services for one of its buildings. The requirement covers the repair and maintenance of electrical building installations, including ongoing support for the building management system. Delivery is in London, for the Bank’s premises. The service is classified as a services contract and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buyer is the Bank of England, a central government public authority. The selected supplier is Sauter Automation Limited, a UK-based automation and building systems business. The requirement is focused on maintaining an operational building management system rather than supplying new construction works or general facilities management services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Sauter Automation Limited under a single lot. The award date is 17 September 2026. The award value is £660,000 excluding VAT, or £792,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2031, with signature scheduled by 30 September 2026. The Bank used a direct award, relying on the special-case provisions in Section 41 and Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023. The stated rationale classification is single-supplier technical reasons. The award is above the relevant threshold. The selected supplier and award value are reported, while the award remains pending signature.

This procurement demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for specialist building management system maintenance and electrical building installation support at a major London institution. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven technical capability in maintaining building management systems, diagnosing and repairing electrical building installations, and supporting reliable operation of a single complex public building over a long service period. The direct-award rationale based on single-supplier technical reasons indicates that technical suitability and compatibility can be decisive in this market. Suppliers that can evidence relevant system knowledge, dependable maintenance delivery and the capacity to provide continuity of service at institutional premises would be better placed when the Bank next considers this requirement.
