This procurement falls under the IT services category and has a total budget of £2,500,000, with the contract period starting from 1st March 2022 and concluding on 20th February 2027. Key notices regarding this opportunity are scheduled for publication, with a future notice expected on 28th June 2021, detailing subsequent steps in the procurement process. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consulting, software development, and content management services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The Bank of England is specifically looking to foster partnerships for the technical development of the Rulebook, making this an ideal opportunity for companies that can leverage digital technologies and provide innovative solutions within the public sector framework, such as G-Cloud or Digital Outcomes & Specialists frameworks. ## Notice A new and improved Rulebook platform will be implemented in 2023 as a vital step towards achieving a single, coherent Rulebook post-EU withdrawal. The new Rulebook will allow for easier navigation of content, and will benefit from the latest digital developments, including making content more accessible, where possible, in machine-readable format. As a first stage, the PRA will develop internal capabilities in line with the 'hybrid' option considered in the recent 'Request For Information' activity. We will look to build the system in-house using the Bank's strategic CMS (Sitecore) and hosting infrastructure (Azure), and by utilising existing resources. In addition the Bank will look to perform its own editorial work. For stage two, we intend to undertake a procurement event in mid-2022, in order to establish a partnership for technical development and support. We anticipate looking with interest at a potential award under a technology public procurement framework such as Digital Outcomes & Specialists, or G-Cloud. The Bank will make every effort to alert you when this process begins. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/89516f8f-71b5-4005-bbd8-56dc0f9558e5 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jun 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Jun 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2022 - 20 Feb 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BANK OF ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2R 8AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Walbrook | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 23 Jun 2021 at 08:33 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/89516f8f-71b5-4005-bbd8-56dc0f9558e5 - 27 Jan 2021 at 13:17 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/73852756-97e3-423c-a995-1fbee1dd78e5 - 26 Jan 2021 at 13:44 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8882a8c-57bd-40e9-a068-99ad943f1ad9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/89516f8f-71b5-4005-bbd8-56dc0f9558e5 23rd June 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/73852756-97e3-423c-a995-1fbee1dd78e5 27th January 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8882a8c-57bd-40e9-a068-99ad943f1ad9 26th January 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.bankofengland.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
