UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England commissioned mechanical and electrical enabling works to support installation of audio-visual equipment. The work is electrical installation and associated mechanical and electrical preparation, rather than the supply of audio-visual equipment itself. The buyer is the Bank of England, and the work is for its requirements in the United Kingdom. The procurement was treated as one lot. The published description gives the purpose and broad scope, but does not provide a breakdown of individual tasks or sites. Suppliers whose work covers building-services enabling activity in support of audio-visual installations are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Volmech Limited. The Bank of England used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 14 June 2026 and runs from 15 June to 14 November 2026. Its value is £160,000 excluding VAT (£200,000 including VAT). The award is for electrical installation works and relates to a single lot. The available procurement details do not set out a separate evaluation basis or eligibility conditions; the route used did not involve a competed selection. The contract is active, and the award is active.

This award demonstrates demand from the Bank of England for mechanical and electrical enabling work needed to accommodate audio-visual installations. Suppliers best placed to compete when this requirement next comes to market will be able to deliver electrical installation alongside relevant mechanical and electrical preparation, and coordinate that work with an audio-visual installation. The contract was awarded to a small and medium-sized supplier, showing that a smaller specialist business was selected for this requirement. A credible competitor would need the practical capacity to undertake building-services works to the buyer’s requirements and experience supporting equipment installations in an operational building. The procurement was handled as a below-threshold direct award without competition, so this outcome does not establish a competitive scoring model or specific accreditation requirements.
