Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England procured the annual renewal of self-managed JFrog Enterprise X software licences. This is a software licensing requirement: the licences support the use of JFrog’s software within the Bank’s own managed environment. The purchase was classified as software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). The Bank of England is the buying organisation, and delivery is recorded for the United Kingdom. The scope described is the renewal of the existing enterprise licence, rather than a wider software implementation or a general IT services requirement. Suppliers specialising in enterprise software licensing and able to supply JFrog products are the businesses most directly aligned with this requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Softcat PLC. It was a below-threshold purchase; the recorded procurement method is described as unknown. The process was divided into one lot, which is complete. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and runs from 26 September 2026 to 26 September 2027. Its value is £39,962.69 excluding VAT and £47,955.23 including VAT. The award is active. The published data does not set out an evaluation basis or eligibility conditions, so the outcome establishes the supplier selected and the contract terms rather than a stated scoring model or qualification threshold.

For suppliers who did not win, this award shows that the Bank of England buys annual renewals of self-managed JFrog Enterprise X licences through a below-threshold procurement. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need access to the relevant JFrog enterprise licensing and the ability to supply renewal licences for use in a customer-managed environment. Software resellers or licensing partners with experience handling enterprise renewals would be directly relevant; providers whose offer is limited to implementation services or unrelated software would be less closely matched. The single-lot purchase indicates a focused licence requirement, rather than a multi-lot technology programme. The awarded supplier is Softcat PLC, a large company, demonstrating that a large supplier can serve this requirement.
