Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority recently completed a procurement process titled "Data Recovery Tool" within the IT services industry, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, internet, and support, classified under CPV code 72000000. This selective call-off from a framework agreement was aimed at procuring a data recovery solution with a contractual value of £73,769.68. The procurement involved an award stage that commenced on 5th December 2025 and concluded with the contract starting on 15th December 2025 and expected to end on 14th December 2026. The location for service delivery is London, United Kingdom. Although the procurement was not targeted specifically at SMEs or VCSEs, it was part of a significant financial transaction with Phoenix Software Limited, who was awarded the contract.

This tender presents a substantial business growth opportunity for IT service providers by offering a high-profile client in the Financial Conduct Authority. Companies involved in providing data recovery solutions, software development, and IT support services have the potential to benefit significantly from similar contracts due to the visibility and prestige associated with working with governmental bodies. While this specific contract was awarded to a large-scale enterprise, businesses looking to expand their portfolio within public sector engagements should closely monitor such opportunities within framework agreements, particularly those seeking to increase their presence in London and across the United Kingdom.
