UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England bought security-process and capability advice, classified as a security service (CPV 79710000). The stated purpose was to advise on the Bank’s security processes and capability. The procurement is recorded as one lot, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is advisory rather than a specified supply of equipment or a defined operational security service; the published description gives no further detail on particular processes, deliverables or sites. Control Risks Group Limited was selected to provide the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Bank of England used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. Control Risks Group Limited received the single award. The contract was signed on 5 June 2026 and runs from 15 June to 14 September 2026. Its value is £136,800 excluding VAT (£171,000 including VAT). The process contains one lot. No award criteria or evaluation basis are stated, so the available process details establish the route and outcome but not how the supplier was assessed.

For suppliers targeting future Bank of England work of this kind, the award shows demand for specialist advice on security processes and organisational capability. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate expertise in assessing and advising on security arrangements, and the ability to provide advice suited to a central bank’s requirements. The direct, non-competitive route used for this below-threshold purchase means suppliers should also understand that similar work may be commissioned without an open competition. The scope described is advisory; the award does not establish a requirement for guarding, equipment, or other operational delivery. Control Risks Group Limited, a large supplier, was selected, indicating that the buyer placed the requirement with an established security and risk consultancy.
