UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured a prepaid wallet for its Digital Forensic Wallet, redeemable against training requirements. The requirement is a training service focused on ISO 17025, the international standard relevant to testing and calibration laboratories. The arrangement supports the FCA’s digital forensic capability by providing access to training rather than physical goods or construction works. The buying organisation is the Financial Conduct Authority, a central government public authority based in London. The recorded supplier, Control-F, is based in Worthing. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to organisations providing ISO 17025 training, laboratory quality or accreditation-related learning, and suppliers able to deliver training through a prepaid wallet or similar credit-based arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Control-F. The FCA used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 15 January 2026 and runs from 19 January 2026 to 18 January 2027. Its value is £34,166 excluding VAT, or £41,000 including VAT. The award is recorded as an active services award, with one completed lot. Evaluation was not competitive because the buyer used a direct procurement route. The contract is titled ISO 17025 Training, while the wider requirement is described as a Control F Wallet for Digital Forensic Wallet training needs. No separate award value is published.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from the Financial Conduct Authority for focused ISO 17025 training connected to digital forensics. A credible competitor would need strong subject-matter knowledge of ISO 17025 and the ability to turn that knowledge into practical training aligned with laboratory quality, testing and calibration requirements. The requirement also indicates value in a flexible purchasing model: training access was provided through a prepaid wallet that could be redeemed against training needs. Suppliers should therefore be able to offer clearly defined courses or training credits, manage redemption and fulfilment reliably, and support a large public authority’s professional development needs. Relevant experience delivering specialist training to regulated, technical or public-sector organisations would strengthen a future response.
