Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured implementation support for its new intranet solution. This is an IT services requirement covering support with putting the intranet into operation, rather than the purchase of a general IT system. The work is delivered in London. The buyer is the FCA, which is based at Endeavour Square in London. The procurement is categorised as services and concerns IT consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000). Its stated purpose is specific to the FCA’s new intranet solution, so suppliers whose work includes implementing and supporting intranet platforms are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to The Network Collective Ltd. The award was made on 26 August 2026, at a value of £102,124.80. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. The original estimated procurement range was £80,000 to £150,000. The FCA used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period covers implementation support for the FCA’s new intranet solution. The stated scope identifies the implementation support requirement, but gives no further breakdown into work packages or evaluation criteria. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is itself identified as an SME.

This award confirms demand from the FCA for hands-on implementation support for a new intranet, at a scale suited to a focused services contract rather than a major technology programme. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need practical experience helping an organisation implement an intranet solution and the capacity to deliver concentrated support over a defined project period. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller specialist provider was selected for this requirement. The procurement route was a call-off from a framework, so suppliers seeking comparable FCA work should be positioned to compete through the relevant framework route. The requirement is specific to intranet implementation; experience and resources directly relevant to deploying and supporting intranet platforms are more pertinent than general IT services capability alone.
