The Bank of England has awarded a total of £180 million ($243 million) in digital transformation contracts to various suppliers to support its Technology Directorate. The contracts are divided into seven lots, including Infrastructure Services, Platform Services, Recruit, Train, Deploy, Enterprise Services, Product Delivery and Management, Data Services, and Architecture, Transformation, and Advisory.

While the first lot covers data center services, no specific providers have been named, although the Bank currently utilizes the UK's Crown Hosting Data Centres for colocation services. Key suppliers include Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, and others. The tender was posted in February 2025, with awards made in October and the notice published in December.
