    Brief

    The Bank is establishing a multi-year, multi-supplier framework agreement to access specialist engineering services supporting its technology transformation and digital expansion. This framework will create a pre-qualified panel of suppliers across six specialized lots: Software Engineering and Applications Design; Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems; Service Design; DevOps and Platform Engineering; Product Design and User Interface Design; and Digital Services and Web Product Development. The framework enables the Bank to rapidly access skilled resources, supplement internal teams, reduce delivery risk, and accelerate priority initiatives while building a diverse, scalable, and resilient supplier base. Suppliers selected for this framework will be positioned to support both immediate delivery needs and long-term strategic transformation. This notice follows preliminary market engagement and a qualifying procurement notice that allow compressed timescales for this exercise.
