UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), a central government public authority based in London, has completed the procurement process titled "RAIDIAM TESTING ENVIRONMENT INTEGRATION PILOT". This contract falls under the IT services industry category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, Internet, and support, as well as subscription services. The contract, which commenced on 27th February 2026, was awarded through a direct procurement method below the threshold, without competition. The contract period is from February 2026 to May 2026, with a potential extension of one month available. This initiative is aimed at integrating the Raidiam testing environment with the FCA's Innovation digital sandbox to simulate a real smart data ecosystem.

The awarded contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in IT services, particularly those capable of developing and integrating complex testing environments. SME IT companies like RAIDIAM SERVICES LIMITED, the contract awardee based in London, are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities, thereby enabling business growth by aligning with government digital transformation projects. Additionally, firms that can provide innovative solutions in data ecosystem simulations and model testing that adhere to regulatory frameworks stand to benefit greatly from such initiatives, opening avenues for long-term partnerships with central government entities like the FCA.

Notice Information

Notice Title

RAIDIAM TESTING ENVIRONMENT INTEGRATION PILOT

Notice Description

Integrating the Raidiam testing environment with the FCA Innovation digital sandbox will allow us to simulate a real smart data ecosystem. Without it, firms will be able to access synthetic data and develop proofs of concept but will not have the ability to test them in a standards aligned environment. This pilot will enable the FCA to assess whether long term partnerships could enable the OF programme to test commercial models and evaluate economic and competition aspects of the regulatory framework. Contract will run between November 2025 and February 2026 and will be a pilot to be considered for BAU in the future.
