The estimated total contract value is £20m (across all contracts). The contracts will be for up to four suppliers, but as a minimum two different suppliers for the services. Services are to be delivered in the UK (UKI). The aim is for a minimum of two contracts to be awarded by Q3 2027. The Bank's mission demands uninterrupted connectivity across its estate, even in the face of physical disruption, cyber threats, or supplier failure. The proposed dual-supplier/dual-contract model is designed to ensure that each location benefits from redundant, independent connectivity, such that failure in one provider's infrastructure does not compromise the Bank's operations. The services are split into Four Lots: Lot 1 & Lot 2: To provide Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity between each of The Bank's Offices & Data Centres. The services will need to be awarded to one supplier per service, as the same supplier cannot provide WAN under LOT 1 and 2. Lot 3 & Lot 4: To provide High-capacity Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) to the Bank's Data Centres and Offices. The services will need to be awarded to one supplier per service, as the same supplier cannot provide DIA under LOT 3 and 4. ## Lots (4) ### Lot 1: LOT 1: Wide Area network (WAN) connectivity 1 - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 32400000, 64200000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £4,000,000 - **Description:** Lot 1: Wide Area network (WAN) connectivity To provide Wide Area network (WAN) connectivity between each of The Bank's Offices & Data Centres • To be multiple high speed (1-10Gb/s), low latency (less than 5 ms), protected circuits. • Pr... - **Contract Period:** 29/07/2027 to 29/07/2031 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 2: Lot 2: Wide Area network (WAN) connectivity 2 - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 32400000, 64200000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £4,000,000 - **Description:** Lot 2: Wide Area network (WAN) connectivity 2 To provide Wide Area network (WAN) connectivity between each of The Bank's Offices & Data Centres • To be multiple high speed (1-10Gb/s), low latency (less than 5 ms), protected circuits. • ... - **Contract Period:** 29/07/2027 to 29/07/2031 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 3: Lot 3: High-capacity Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) 1 - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 72411000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £4,000,000 - **Description:** Lot 3: High-capacity Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) 1 To provide High-capacity Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) to The Bank's Data Centres and Offices. • 10Gb/s and above capacity • Protected circuits, supporting fixed IP addresses (64) into each of ... - **Contract Period:** 29/07/2027 to 29/07/2031 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 4: Lot 4: High-capacity Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) 2 - **Lot id:** `4` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 72411000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £4,000,000 - **Description:** Lot 4: High-capacity Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) 2 To provide High-capacity Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) to The Bank's Data Centres and Offices. • 10Gb/s and above capacity • Protected circuits, supporting fixed IP addresses (64) into each of ... - **Contract Period:** 29/07/2027 to 29/07/2031 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F078465-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-08-18T11:44:07.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-27T01:40:24.320Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-05f18c
