Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has concluded a public procurement process for a contract titled "Network Visualisation Subscription," classified under IT services: consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement was conducted via a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract involves providing a professional subscription tool for network and graph visualisation. Associated with postal code E20 1JN, it is based in London, United Kingdom. Although the tender period ended on 6th October 2025, the contract award was made active on 20th October 2025, marking the commencement of the contract period from 10th November 2025 through to 9th November 2027. The procurement has reached the award stage with the involved total value amounting to £121,329.96.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies specialising in IT services, particularly those capable of providing advanced network and graph visualisation tools. However, as the procurement is selective and stems from a framework agreement, it favours firms already within that framework, making it a suitable opportunity primarily for larger-scale businesses with established qualifications. Companies like SOFTCAT LTD - FCA, which ultimately won the tender, illustrate the scope of growth and expansion in accommodating complex, professional-grade IT solutions as mandated by FCA's requirements.
