Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has recently concluded the procurement for DevSecOps Specialists Consultancy services, which falls under the business and management consultancy services industry category, with additional focus on systems consultancy services. The procurement process utilised a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement and was aimed at supporting the FCA's Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) programme, including tools like GitHub and JIRA. The awarded contract, valued at £100,314, commenced on 29th July 2024 and will run until 28th July 2026. The procurement took place in London, with key dates including the tender period end on 29th May 2024 and the award date on 25th July 2024.

This tender creates significant opportunities for firms specialising in consultancy and systems integration, particularly those with expertise in DevSecOps and cybersecurity processes. Large consultancy firms with a strong track record in these areas would be well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities, allowing them to expand their service offerings within the regulatory and financial sectors. As SMEs and VCSEs were not targeted for this specific contract, larger established consultancies like Ernst & Young LLP, who secured this contract, are better positioned to benefit from such contracts.
