Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) procured a software asset management (SAM) service renewal for its existing Flexera toolset. The requirement covers continued use of the Flexera platform and associated support for the FCA’s London operations, maintaining continuity with its existing software asset management arrangements. It is an IT service covering software and support, rather than new software implementation or general consultancy. The procurement relates to the FCA’s wider SaaS module arrangements, which are already supplied by Insight Direct (UK) Ltd. Suppliers with experience providing and supporting Flexera or comparable SAM platforms to public sector or regulated organisations would be relevant to this type of requirement.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 7 June 2026 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value was £200,000. FCA awarded the contract to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd on 15 June 2026 for £210,000. The awarded contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, covering 12 months. The award is recorded as active. The procurement was classified as IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support. The published outcome records one supplier and one requirement; the two award entries report the same supplier, value, award date and contract period and are not separate awards.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from the FCA for continuity of a Flexera-based software asset management service delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need strong capability in Flexera licensing, software inventory, compliance and optimisation, together with the operational capacity to support an established enterprise environment without disruption. Experience managing SaaS modules and integrating with an incumbent software estate would be particularly relevant, as would a track record of service continuity for a regulated public body. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the buyer’s expectations favour suppliers with substantial delivery capacity, framework access and established support arrangements.
