Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) commissioned application development and maintenance for its Case and Regulatory Risk Management (CRRM) Product Group. The work covers software support and software development services, supporting the FCA’s digital case and regulatory risk management capabilities under its Digital Services Framework. Delivery is based in London, at the FCA’s premises in Endeavour Square, with the requirement classified under CPV 72261000 for software support services and also covering CPV 72212517 for IT software development services. This is a substantial digital services requirement for suppliers able to provide ongoing application engineering, maintenance and support within a regulated public-sector environment. The named buyer is the FCA and the selected supplier is Sopra Steria Limited.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to Sopra Steria Limited on 27 August 2026 for £33,355,903.88. The wider estimated procurement value was £55,000,000, with a minimum estimated value of £33,355,903.88. The awarded contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The tender submission deadline was 16 December 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The contract is for services and the award is recorded as active. The opportunity was not designated as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. It was structured as a framework call-off rather than an open-market competition.

This award demonstrates sustained FCA demand for application development, maintenance and software support focused on case management and regulatory risk. For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need an established software engineering and application support capability, with sufficient capacity to maintain business-critical services over a multi-year period. Experience working in regulated environments would be important, particularly where systems support supervisory, compliance or risk-management processes. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a digital services framework call-off and demonstrate dependable delivery, service continuity, technical governance and the ability to work closely with an FCA product group. The scale and framework route indicate that larger, well-resourced technology providers or suitably capable consortiums are likely to be best placed.
