Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) procured privileged access management (PAM) capability: technology and related IT services for controlling and managing privileged access to the organisation’s systems and assets. Delivery is in London, at the FCA’s offices in Endeavour Square, E20. The procurement is described as a renewal of the FCA’s Delinea privileged asset management requirement. It is categorised as a purchase of goods, with IT services also relevant to suppliers providing the capability and its implementation or support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Softcat Ltd. The award date was 1 September 2026, at a value of £1.5 million. The contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 15 September 2028, with the original requirement described as a two-year contract and options for two one-year extensions. The FCA used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The stated estimated value range was £1.4 million to £1.5 million. The contract was not divided into lots. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The release does not state evaluation criteria.

For suppliers of privileged access management platforms and associated IT services, this award demonstrates FCA demand for an enterprise-level capability to control access to privileged accounts and assets. A credible competitor would need to offer a solution suitable for deployment across the FCA’s London operations, together with the capacity to supply and support it under a multi-year arrangement. The selected supplier, Softcat Ltd, is identified as a large business, and the procurement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The route used was a framework call-off, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete through that route would be important to a supplier seeking to meet this specific FCA requirement.
