Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured data governance consultancy services, classified under IT consulting, software development, internet and support services. The requirement is for specialist consultancy supporting data governance activities rather than a physical works or goods supply. Delivery is in London, including the FCA’s premises at 12 Endeavour Square, E20 1JN. The buying organisation is the Financial Conduct Authority. This is a professional services opportunity for providers able to advise on data governance and related information technology support in a regulated public-sector environment. The procurement is categorised as services and was fulfilled through an external supplier rather than directly by the authority. The requirement may therefore suit established technology consultancies, data governance specialists and framework-based public-sector service providers.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 20 July 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value was £100,000 to £150,000. The contract was awarded to SOFTCAT LTD - FCA on 4 August 2026 for £123,750. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 19 February 2027. The published evaluation basis is not set out in the available procurement information. The process used a framework call-off route, so competition was limited to suppliers eligible to participate through the relevant framework. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. This outcome identifies the selected supplier, the agreed value and the delivery period for the consultancy requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from the Financial Conduct Authority for specialist data governance consultancy delivered in London through a framework call-off. A future competitor would need to be an established technology or data consultancy able to provide credible governance advice and associated IT consultancy, software, internet or support capability. Experience of delivering professional services for a regulated public body would strengthen its position, particularly where work requires dependable handling of organisational data, clear advisory outputs and the ability to operate within public-sector procurement controls. Suppliers would also need access to an appropriate framework route, or to secure framework membership before a comparable requirement returns. The awarded supplier’s profile indicates that a broad technology services provider can satisfy this requirement, not only a narrowly focused governance boutique.
