Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) procured OpenCTI, a threat intelligence central platform supporting threat intelligence operations and related functions. This is a technology service, classified as an electronic intelligence system (CPV 35721000). The requirement covers the FCA’s threat intelligence capability and is to be delivered in London, including the FCA’s premises at 12 Endeavour Square, London E20 1JN. The procurement is for a central platform rather than a general IT service, so relevant expertise includes threat intelligence technology, intelligence operations and the implementation or supply of platforms that consolidate and support these functions.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SOFTCAT LTD - FCA on 20 March 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender’s estimated value was £100,000, while the awarded value was £168,000. The awarded contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. It was categorised as a services procurement and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and covers the complete OpenCTI requirement for the FCA.

This award demonstrates demand from the FCA for a dedicated threat intelligence platform supporting operational intelligence work. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would offer a mature central threat intelligence platform and the technical capability to support intelligence operations in a regulated public-sector environment. Credible competitors would need to show that their platform can enable threat intelligence functions as an integrated service, rather than provide only isolated security tools. Experience supplying comparable electronic intelligence systems, understanding operational threat intelligence workflows and providing dependable platform support would strengthen a supplier’s position. The recorded outcome also indicates that the FCA used a framework call-off route and selected an established framework supplier.
