Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) procured specialist Secure Service Edge Analyst support for its Cyber Infrastructure and Information delivery work. This is a professional technology service covering computer support and consultancy, with the specific requirement focused on secure service edge analysis. The work is delivered for the FCA in London, at 12 Endeavour Square, London E20 1JN. It is a specialist cyber infrastructure engagement rather than a general IT support requirement. Businesses should therefore have relevant expertise in secure service edge technologies, cyber security architecture and information infrastructure, together with the ability to provide an analyst who can support delivery within a financial regulatory organisation.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The FCA used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original estimated value was £100,000; the contract was awarded to SOFTCAT LTD - FCA for £150,000. The award was made on 3 April 2026. The awarded contract runs from 6 April 2026 to 30 September 2026. The published process identifies computer support and consultancy services as the classification and Secure Service Edge Analyst as the requirement. The procurement was not marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. One supplier received the active award.

For a supplier reviewing future opportunities from the FCA, this award demonstrates demand for specialist cyber infrastructure consultancy delivered through a framework call-off route. A credible competitor would need demonstrable capability in secure service edge analysis, cyber security architecture and the delivery of information infrastructure services, rather than broad, undifferentiated IT support. It would also need an analyst able to work within a regulated financial-services environment and contribute directly to the delivery of Cyber Infrastructure and Information. The selected supplier profile indicates that framework access, relevant technical expertise, suitable delivery capacity and experience supporting complex organisational cyber requirements are important commercial foundations for competing when this type of requirement returns.
