The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has concluded the procurement process for a contract titled "Development support for Agentic AI" within the IT services industry, focusing on consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement was initiated using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £650,000, began on 1st March 2026 and is set to end on 31st August 2026, with delivery concentrated in the London region, UK. An award, with an active status, was made to AIRWALK CONSULTING REPLY LTD, a supplier identified as an SME. Key dates in the process include the tender period closing on 6th February 2026 and the award being dated 16th February 2026, with publication on 7th July 2026.

This tender presents robust opportunities for companies specialising in technology and IT consulting, particularly those experienced in AI development and support services. The nature of the procurement process, being a call-off from a framework agreement, suggests the importance of having pre-established relationships within such frameworks. Although not aimed specifically at small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), SMEs like AIRWALK CONSULTING REPLY LTD have proven successful, indicating opportunities for entities capable of meeting the sophisticated demands of the FCA's digital transformation projects.
