Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured services for its Cloud Resilience Programme, specifically a playbook orchestration tool. The requirement falls within IT software development services and is intended to support cloud resilience activities. Delivery is in London, including the FCA’s premises at 12 Endeavour Square, Stratford. The work is a service rather than a supply of goods or construction, and concerns the development or provision of software to help organise and manage cloud-resilience playbooks. The named buyer is the Financial Conduct Authority. The selected supplier was Softcat Ltd – FCA, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled through a technology services provider able to support the FCA’s cloud resilience programme.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value was between £180,000 and £230,000, while the awarded value was £225,000. The contract was awarded to Softcat Ltd – FCA on 18 May 2026. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. The award is active. The opportunity was treated as a service procurement, with the requirement described as IT software development services for a cloud resilience playbook orchestration tool. Participation was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement provides a clear indication of the FCA’s demand for specialist cloud-resilience software services and playbook orchestration capability. Suppliers considering future requirements from this buyer would need credible IT software development expertise, together with the ability to design, configure or support tools that organise operational resilience playbooks in a cloud environment. Experience delivering technology services through a framework call-off route would be commercially relevant, as would the capacity to work with a financial regulator and support an enterprise-level implementation. The award value and contract scope indicate a substantial, defined technology engagement rather than a small standalone software task. Larger established technology suppliers and framework members with relevant cloud, resilience and orchestration experience are therefore best placed to compete when comparable demand returns.
