Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Adobe Licence and Support," which falls under the IT software package industry category. The procurement involved a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and was conducted in the region of London, United Kingdom. The tender initially ended on 28 July 2025, with a contract period starting from 31 August 2025 and concluding on 30 August 2028. The awarded contract’s value is approximately £999,408.78, highlighting the significant investment into IT services by the FCA.

This tender presents robust opportunities for businesses engaged in providing IT software solutions, particularly those with capabilities in Adobe licensing and support. The contract was awarded to INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD, indicative of the potential for large-scale businesses in the IT sector to engage with government bodies such as the FCA. Although this specific opportunity was not tailored for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), businesses equipped to handle substantial frameworks in IT software would find similar government contracts instrumental in their growth efforts.
