Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority has completed a public procurement process titled "Network Review and Assistance", focused on providing consultancy support for a network review. This contract falls within the IT services industry category, specifically under consulting, software development, internet, and support, with the procurement located in London, United Kingdom. The procurement process entailed a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, with relevant details indicating the tender period ended on 4th August 2025 and the contract period spanned from 8th September 2025 to 22nd January 2026. With a contract value of £75,000, CDW LIMITED was awarded this contract, having been selected on the 18th August 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those offering consultancy and software development expertise. While the current contract has been awarded to a large-scale supplier, CDW LIMITED, there remains potential for businesses to engage in future tenders by the Financial Conduct Authority, which values expertise in providing network review services. Businesses that specialise in IT consulting and can leverage framework agreements may find this sector highly suitable for developing long-term partnerships with such regulatory bodies. Additionally, those aiming to enter similar markets should pay attention to framework agreements to increase their chances of selection in these types of procured services.
