Description

The Bank of England is looking to conduct a restricted tender procedure for a Technology Transformation & Delivery Framework (TDF).

Many of the Bank's critical functions and processes rely upon its technology infrastructure and systems. The maintenance, development, and continuous innovation of these systems by the Bank's technology staff supported by external industry experts is critical for the Bank's future operations.

The Bank wishes to set up a multi-lot, multi-supplier framework agreement for the provision of services to support the various functions of the Bank's Technology Directorate. The Bank anticipates that the appointed suppliers will provide project delivery services both on-site at the Bank's premises as well as off-site where appropriate.

Lot 1 - Infrastructure Services
Lot 2 - Platform Services
Lot 3 - Recruit, Train, Deploy
Lot 4 - Enterprise Services
Lot 5 - Product Delivery and Management
Lot 6 - Data Services
Lot 7 - Architecture, Transformation and Advisory

The TDF will be in place for four years with an estimated spend as specified, but no minimum spend commitment.
