Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority bought support services for Tableau Cloud, classified as IT services. The requirement concerns supporting the buyer’s use of Tableau Cloud; the procurement description gives no further breakdown of tasks. Delivery is in London, at the FCA’s address in Endeavour Square. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of software or equipment. The buyer is the Financial Conduct Authority, and the selected supplier is Softcat Ltd. The recorded delivery location is London, with postcode E20 1JN. The work is therefore relevant to providers of Tableau Cloud support and associated IT services with the ability to serve a financial regulator in London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Softcat Ltd. The FCA used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 3 September 2026 for £33,806.59. The planned contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 16 October 2027. Before award, the estimated procurement value was between £20,000 and £40,000, and the stated submission deadline was 27 August 2026 at noon. The service was treated as a single requirement, with no separate lots described. The published process information does not state evaluation criteria or detailed supplier eligibility conditions. The recorded suitability assessment says the requirement was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows that the FCA procures dedicated support for Tableau Cloud through a framework call-off, rather than treating the need as a general software purchase. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement when it returns to market would need credible Tableau Cloud support capability and experience delivering IT services in a regulated financial-sector setting. They should also be able to work within a framework call-off route and provide support at a scale consistent with a focused, single-buyer service contract. The stated assessment that the opportunity was unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that the buyer viewed the requirement as calling for supplier capacity beyond those categories. The selected supplier was Softcat Ltd.
