## Summary

The Bank of England procured Oracle database licences and 18 months of support, funded through a pool of funds. This is a software licensing and support requirement, classified as IT services (CPV 72000000). The buying organisation is the Bank of England, based at Threadneedle Street in London. The procurement describes one requirement for delivery in the United Kingdom; it does not break the purchase into separate lots. The scope combines database licensing with support, rather than a broader IT consulting or software development project.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Oracle Corporation UK Limited. The award date was 1 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 14 October 2026 to 30 March 2028. The awarded value is £1,810,418.33. The Bank used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 October 2026 at 5pm. The process is recorded as a single requirement, with no lot-by-lot awards. The published procurement information identifies the selected supplier and contract scope, but does not set out an evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria.

For suppliers competing when the Bank of England’s Oracle database requirement next reaches the market, this award demonstrates demand for enterprise database licences bundled with support, with support delivered over an 18-month period. A credible competitor would need the ability to supply Oracle licensing and provide the associated support as a single package, and to operate at a scale suited to a large public-sector buyer. The purchase was made through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to an appropriate framework route and the capability to compete within its terms. This was a substantial software licensing and support requirement, rather than a general IT services assignment.
