Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has concluded the procurement process for an "Operational Support Desktop License" under the industry category of IT services, encompassing consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The process was conducted through a 'selective' procurement method, as part of a call-off from a framework agreement. The buying organisation, FCA, is located in London, UK, specifically at 12 Endeavour Square, Stratford, E20 1JN. The award status is marked as "active" following the completion of the tender, which had a closing deadline on 4th February 2026. The contract period is slated to begin on 10th March 2026 and will conclude on 9th March 2027, with an awarded contract value of £178,295.04.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in IT services, particularly those skilled in providing consulting and software development solutions. While the framework agreement suggests a selective approach, larger scale organisations that can deliver robust operational support solutions will find this opportunity lucrative, evidenced by the selection of INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD, a large firm. With a substantial contract value, successful bidding and execution can enhance a company's portfolio and client base in the competitive financial services sector.
