UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority is procuring professional information services covering multiple sectors. The requirement includes access to suites of specialist publications: Risk.net, Central Banking, FX Markets, Insurance Post and Waters Technology. The work combines data services, publication access and related information technology services. It supports the FCA’s need for current professional information across financial services and technology markets. The buying organisation is the Financial Conduct Authority, a central government public authority based in London. The awarded supplier, INFOPRO DIGITAL SERVICES LTD, is providing the service. This opportunity is relevant to publishers, specialist information providers, data businesses and technology-enabled research services with the ability to supply curated professional content across several financial and technical sectors.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to INFOPRO DIGITAL SERVICES LTD. The award was made on 7 July 2026 and the contract was signed on 7 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its value is £157,918.33 excluding VAT, or £189,502 including VAT. The procurement used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. It comprised one lot, which is complete, and the award is active. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the published procurement information does not set out separate quality, price or technical scoring criteria. The award covered professional information across multiple sectors and associated publication, data and information technology services.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Financial Conduct Authority for consolidated access to authoritative professional information serving financial markets, banking, foreign exchange, insurance and water technology audiences. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would have established rights to relevant specialist publications, reliable content distribution and the technical capability to provide users with access to multiple information products through a coherent service. Credibility would also come from breadth across the named sectors, dependable data and publication management, and experience supporting a public authority or similarly information-intensive organisation. Businesses competing with established publishers may need a strong multi-sector content portfolio, mature digital delivery arrangements and the capacity to manage a service spanning publications, data services and supporting information technology.
