Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has successfully completed the procurement process for project management software, support, and related services, classified under the "Software package and information systems" industry category. The procurement was conducted using a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The process has culminated in an award to Softcat plc for a contract valued at £1,021,441.49, with the overall project budget set at £1,500,000 GBP. The services are to be delivered in London, United Kingdom, with the contract period spanning from 26th September 2024 to 25th September 2026. The tender, which was structured for a larger scale business given its procurement criteria, was published on 24th November 2025, indicating a forward-planned contract management strategy by the FCA.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the software and IT services sector to engage with high-profile government organisations like the FCA. Companies specialising in large-scale software deployment, ongoing support, and system integration services would have found this tender particularly appealing. Given the competitive nature of such contracts through framework agreements, it is crucial for such businesses to demonstrate extensive expertise, reliability, and scalability in their operations to leverage similar opportunities for growth in the future. The collaboration with a large organisation like Softcat further emphasises the scale and potential of this procurement, underlining the need for established capabilities and a refined strategy to engage in these high-value contracts.
