About

The Bank is seeking suppliers for the supply of network services and goods over a four-year contract term with optional 2+2+2 year extensions, with an estimated total contract value of £20m across all contracts. Services will be delivered in the UK (UKI) and contracts will be awarded to up to four suppliers, with a minimum of two different suppliers; the Bank aims for at least two contracts to be awarded by Q3 2027. The procurement adopts a dual-supplier/dual-contract model to ensure uninterrupted connectivity across the Bank’s offices and data centres in the face of physical disruption, cyber threats or supplier failure. Services are split into four lots: Lot 1 and Lot 2 provide Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity between the Bank’s offices and data centres and must be awarded to different suppliers (the same supplier cannot provide WAN under both Lot 1 and Lot 2); Lot 3 and Lot 4 provide high-capacity Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) to the Bank’s data centres and offices and must likewise be awarded to different suppliers (the same supplier cannot provide DIA under both Lot 3 and Lot 4).
