UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Bank of England bought professional implementation services from Softcat PLC. The work is classified as IT services, covering consulting, software development, internet and support services. The procurement description does not break the requirement down into particular implementation tasks or identify a specific system or project. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a single service requirement managed by the Bank of England, a central government public authority. The selected supplier is based in Marlow, but the stated delivery location is the United Kingdom rather than a more specific place.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Softcat PLC. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 13 October 2026 to 12 October 2027. Its value is £49,900 excluding VAT and £59,880 including VAT. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is active. The requirement was handled as a below-threshold procurement; the specific procedure is not identified. It was structured as one lot, covering professional implementation services. The available details do not set out eligibility conditions or evaluation criteria, so the basis on which suppliers were assessed cannot be described further.

For suppliers considering similar future work for the Bank of England, this award shows demand for professional IT implementation services at a contained, single-contract scale. Softcat PLC, a large supplier, was selected, indicating that an established IT services provider can deliver the requirement. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate relevant implementation capability, with the ability to provide IT consulting, software development, internet or support services as applicable to the buyer’s specific needs. The procurement was handled below threshold and as a single lot, rather than divided into separate service packages. The published information does not identify particular technical accreditations, staffing levels or specialist experience, so the strongest evidence of fit would be relevant delivery examples and capacity aligned to the implementation requirement.
