## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the Bank of England is currently in the planning stage for a Minor Works Framework targeting Mechanical, Electrical, & Plumbing (Lot 1) and Building Fabric (Lot 2) projects. This framework aims to support ongoing construction and maintenance services through upgrade and refit projects across the Bank's properties. The public authority, located at Threadneedle Street in London, is inviting preliminary market engagement until 29 April 2026. Businesses are encouraged to register interest and submit introductory information via email. The anticipated tender issuance will be in June 2026, to commence the framework by 1 December 2026. With a projected framework term of four years, this opportunity covers regions including Yorkshire and the Humber (UKE), East (UKH), and London (UKI), under the 'works' industry category, with an estimated value of up to £1.5m per annum including VAT for each Lot.

This tender offers a promising avenue for businesses specialising in construction work, particularly those with capabilities in mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and building fabric projects.

By participating in this procurement exercise, businesses can expand their portfolio with high-value projects, gaining potential access to contracts valued at up to £12 million gross, spanning over multiple regions within the United Kingdom. The establishment of a closed framework involving at least two suppliers ensures continuous engagement, creating robust pathways for sustained business growth and strategic alignment with a prestigious central government entity.
