Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured Microsoft enterprise software under a three-year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement covering 2026 to 2029. This is a technology services requirement centred on the supply and management of Microsoft software licences and related enterprise agreement arrangements, classified as an IT software package. Delivery is associated with the FCA’s offices at 12 Endeavour Square, London E20 1JN. The requirement is for the FCA’s organisational technology environment rather than a standalone works project or general IT support service. It is a large-scale software licensing opportunity for a supplier able to support a public-sector financial regulator with Microsoft enterprise products throughout the agreement period.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 9 February 2026 to Phoenix Software Limited. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than as an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 14 January 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The estimated procurement value was between £20,000,000 and £25,000,000, while the awarded value was £22,671,306.64. The awarded contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement for Microsoft enterprise software, with the opportunity marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Phoenix Software Limited is the named supplier.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from the Financial Conduct Authority for managed Microsoft enterprise software licensing delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong Microsoft licensing knowledge, the operational capacity to support a large public-sector agreement, and experience translating enterprise-wide software needs into compliant framework purchases. Suppliers should be able to manage complex licence estates, advise on product and usage choices, maintain accurate entitlement and renewal records, and provide dependable account and contract administration. The procurement’s scale and SME-unsuitable classification indicate that the buyer is looking for an established provider with sufficient financial, technical and service capacity to support a regulator throughout a multi-year enterprise agreement.
