## Summary

The Bank of England procured its Fixed Fee Programme, covering all messaging and API calls for live and test environments. The requirement is for communications and data transmission services, with associated technology services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The process is complete and SWIFT SC was selected for the contract. The award is valued at €6.4 million, with a contract period from 21 October 2026 to 20 October 2029. The award is dated 7 October 2026. This was a direct award on the stated basis that the service has a sole supplier; the rationale also cites technical reasons and intellectual property or exclusive rights. The procurement was arranged as one lot.

For suppliers preparing for a comparable requirement from the Bank of England, the relevant capability is providing messaging and API services that cover both live and test environments, alongside data transmission and supporting technology services. The outcome indicates that the buyer used a direct award because it considered the service to have a sole supplier, citing technical reasons and intellectual property or exclusive rights. A credible competitor would therefore need to demonstrate that its service can meet the same communications requirement and address the buyer’s technical and rights-related rationale, as well as deliver across both environments. The selected supplier is a large organisation, indicating that the awarded requirement was placed with a supplier operating at substantial scale.

## Notice

The Fixed Fee Programme includes all messaging and API calls for live and test environments.
