## Summary

The Bank of England procured technical consultancy services to maintain and optimise its automated regression pack. The work concerns IT consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000), focused on maintaining and improving automated software testing capability. Delivery is in England. The requirement is a service rather than goods or construction works, and is relevant to suppliers providing software quality assurance, test automation, regression testing and associated technical consultancy. The buyer is the Bank of England, based at Threadneedle Street in London. The procurement is centred on supporting the organisation’s existing automated regression testing arrangements rather than developing an unrelated standalone IT system or general business consultancy service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Coforge U.K. Limited on 10 August 2026 for £820,002. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 May 2027, covering nine months, with an optional one-month extension. The award is active. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The recorded procurement method was a framework call-off, so competition was conducted among eligible framework suppliers rather than through an open tender.

This award shows that the Bank of England uses framework call-offs to buy specialist support for an established automated regression testing capability. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need credible expertise in test automation, regression-pack maintenance, optimisation and technical consultancy, with the capacity to support a significant financial-sector organisation. A strong competitor would be an established IT services business able to work within a framework route, maintain existing automation rather than only create new systems, and improve testing efficiency and reliability. The recorded requirement was not considered suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that comparable opportunities are likely to favour larger suppliers with substantial delivery capacity, relevant software testing experience and mature service processes.
