Published requirement description

The Bank of England has an ongoing requirement for contractors to provide minor works construction and maintenance services to provide upgrade and refit projects to the Bank's properties. The opportunity will be split into two Lots:

Lot 1 - Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing

Lot 2 - Building Fabric

The works will be provided via call-off contracts under a framework. The purpose of this procurement exercise is to establish closed framework with between 2 and 4 suppliers for each Lot. This will provide the ability to call off survey, design, build and commissioning for individual work orders.

The term of the framework will be 4 years and it is anticipated that it will start on 01/02/2027.

The estimate total value of the all call-off contracts will be up to £1.5m including VAT per annum for each Lot .

  • How the procedure runs: A two stage procedure consisting of a procurement specific questionnaire (Stage 1) and tender (Stage 2).

CPV: Construction work

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Minor Works Framework for Mechanical, Electrical, & Plumbing (Lot 1)…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 8 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
