This process is currently in the planning stage with the notice dated 14th July 2026. Interested organisations can register their interest and provide feedback by completing a questionnaire via the Bank's e-tendering portal by 10th August 2026. The anticipated contract, beginning on 1st March 2027 and potentially extending into 2036, will support the Bank's operations at its Debden site in the United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the services category, especially directed at the provision of storage containers and related services, with an estimated contract value of up to £2.1 million inclusive of VAT. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in manufacturing and maintaining storage solutions, particularly SMEs, due to the procurement's suitability provision. Companies involved in supplying and repairing storage containers, storage bins, and providing storage and retrieval services could significantly benefit from this contract. Furthermore, those experienced in sustainable disposal methods will find this opportunity particularly attractive, adding potential for business growth through a long-term association with a prestigious central government authority such as the Bank of England. ## Notice The Bank of England ("the Bank") is undertaking a Request for Information (RFI) and Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to inform a potential future procurement. This notice is not a call for competition, not an invitation to tender, and will not result in the award of a contract. The Bank is seeking market feedback regarding a potential requirement for the supply of approximately 5,000 stillages up to 2031 in accordance with the Bank's specifications, maintenance and repair of the Bank's existing cage estate, storage services for surplus cages from the Bank's Debden site, and the sustainable disposal of cages that are beyond economic repair. The goods and services would be delivered to and/or provided in support of the Bank's Debden site. The Bank is considering a contract commencing on 1 March 2027 and ending on 28 February 2034, with the option, at the Bank's sole discretion, to extend for up to two additional periods of one year each. The estimated contract value is up to PS2.1 million inclusive of VAT and any extension options. This value is indicative only and does not represent any commitment by the Bank. ### Planning Information Interested organisations are requested to register their interest via the Bank's e-tendering portal, review the RFI Questionnaire that can be downloaded from the portal, complete and return the questionnaire in full by 10 August 2026, and optionally provide any additional introductory or supporting information that may assist the Bank's assessment of the market.
