Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured a backup static website for the FCA Handbook. The service is intended to ensure the FCA can continue meeting its legal obligation to publish the Handbook if an existing supplier experiences unplanned distress. This is an information technology service covering website development, hosting or support arrangements, and internet-related technical capability. Delivery is centred on the FCA’s site at 12 Endeavour Square, Stratford, London, with the recorded delivery location in London. The requirement is classified as IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support. It is a services contract and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ZOOCHA LTD - FCA on 29 May 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The original estimated value was between £85,000 and £95,000, while the awarded value was £91,332. The tender submission deadline was 15 May 2026 at 12:00. The awarded contract runs from 16 June 2026 to 30 April 2029. The selected supplier is ZOOCHA LTD - FCA, an SME. The procurement record identifies the service category and SME suitability, but gives no further published detail on the award scoring or evaluation criteria.

This requirement demonstrates demand for resilient public-sector publishing platforms that can preserve access to legally significant regulatory content when a primary supplier fails. A credible competitor would need to design, build or support a static website, with strong controls for content integrity, availability, security, backup and recovery. Experience of publishing structured or regulatory information would be relevant, as would the ability to provide dependable technical support and continuity planning. Suppliers should be able to work with a regulator, understand operational and legal obligations, and demonstrate that their solution can be maintained over a multi-year service period. The award to an SME indicates that specialist smaller technology firms can compete successfully for this type of framework call-off.
