Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the 'Laptop Refresh' project, led by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), was conducted under a selective procurement method. The project falls within the 'goods' category, specifically oriented towards desktop computers, and is located in London, United Kingdom. This contract, valued at approximately £1.7 million, was awarded to SOFTCAT LTD - FCA. The tender phase concluded on 28th November 2025, with the contract period set from 19th December 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement process was initiated as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the official award notice published on 7th July 2026.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for large-scale businesses capable of supplying desktop computer equipment. Companies with the capacity to deliver high-value technological goods on short notice would find such contracts advantageous, especially those with expertise in meeting the specific needs of government and regulatory agencies. Although the procurement was selective and not aimed at small businesses or voluntary and community sector enterprises, large established firms in the IT and hardware niche could leverage such contracts to enhance their portfolios and strengthen their business with public sector organisations.
