Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) procured IT services to provide a Tableau Cloud private connection endpoint for integration with FCA systems. The requirement is intended to provide a secure and efficient connection between Tableau and the FCA’s systems, alongside the existing Tableau contract. It is a specialist technology and connectivity service covering software, internet and support-related activity. Delivery is in London, including the FCA’s offices at 12 Endeavour Square, E20 1JN. The requirement sits within the FCA’s existing Tableau environment and is designed to support secure data and system integration rather than a general IT support service.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The FCA used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 5 July 2026 at noon, and the award was made on 16 July 2026. SOFTCAT LTD - FCA was awarded the contract for £49,587.07 including the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 October 2027. The tender’s estimated value was £40,000. The award covers the full private connection endpoint requirement, rather than separately awarded lots. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, with the award recorded as active.

This award demonstrates demand from the FCA for secure, private connectivity between Tableau Cloud and its internal systems, delivered alongside an existing Tableau arrangement. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need strong capability in cloud networking, private endpoints, secure systems integration and Tableau-related technology. Credibility would also depend on understanding regulated environments, information security controls and the operational risks of connecting cloud analytics services to public-sector systems. The requirement was shaped by Salesforce advice and confirmation from technical architects through governance sign-off, so suppliers would need to work effectively with software vendors, architecture teams and formal approval processes. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
