Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured an employee engagement platform and related services for its organisation. The requirement covers an intranet network and associated employee-facing digital engagement capability, classified under CPV 32412120. Delivery is centred at the FCA’s offices in London, at 12 Endeavour Square, E20 1JN. This is a services requirement rather than a supply of standalone goods or construction works. The appointed supplier is expected to provide the platform and supporting services needed to operate and maintain the employee engagement environment for the FCA. The opportunity is relevant to providers of enterprise intranet, employee communications, employee experience and digital workplace platforms, particularly those able to support a regulated public-sector organisation from a London delivery base.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Unily Limited. The FCA used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids closed on 26 March 2026 at 17:00. The estimated contract value was between £700,000 and £800,000; the award value was £728,400. The award was made on 19 May 2026, with the contract running from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The published outcome records one active award to Unily Limited. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, and the available procurement record identifies the employee engagement platform and related services as the contracted subject. The procurement was not designated as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This requirement demonstrates demand from the FCA for an enterprise employee engagement and intranet platform supported by related professional services. A credible future competitor would need a mature platform that can serve a substantial organisation, with strong employee communications, content management, internal collaboration and user engagement functions. Experience delivering and supporting secure digital workplace services for regulated or public-sector customers would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where the service must be dependable, well governed and supported over several years. Suppliers would also need to be capable of operating through a framework call-off route rather than relying only on direct procurement. The buyer’s classification indicates that smaller or very small providers acting alone may be poorly matched to the scale and organisational demands of this requirement.
