UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured a webinar and video hosting platform for its Internal Communications team. The requirement is a service-based digital platform supporting the hosting and delivery of webinars and video content, with associated internet, software and support services. The buying organisation is the Financial Conduct Authority, a UK central government public authority, and the work is for its operations in London. This is primarily an IT services opportunity rather than a construction, physical goods or general communications contract. It would suit suppliers providing hosted video, webinar and online content services, particularly those able to support an internal corporate communications function within a regulated public-sector organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to Twentythree, a large supplier based in Copenhagen, Denmark. The award was made on 18 February 2026. The contract runs from 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its value is £48,390 excluding VAT, or £58,068 including VAT. The contract is active and covers the webinar and video hosting platform requirement. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than an open tender, so the published outcome records the selected supplier and agreed contract rather than competing bids or a comparative evaluation.

This outcome shows that the Financial Conduct Authority buys specialist hosted webinar and video capability for internal communications, rather than relying only on general-purpose IT support. A credible future competitor would need a mature platform for delivering webinars and hosting video content, backed by dependable internet-based software and technical support. Experience supporting internal communications teams in a regulated or public-sector environment would help demonstrate understanding of governance, reliability and user needs. The incumbent is a large overseas provider, indicating that suppliers may need to deliver remotely at organisational scale and support a professional corporate user base. Relevant providers include specialist video-hosting platforms, webinar technology companies and IT service businesses with a proven hosted-service capability.
