Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme is procuring a risk management system, including the system licence, ongoing support and maintenance. This is an information technology services requirement for use in the United Kingdom. The buyer is seeking a supplier able to provide and sustain a system that meets its functional and non-functional requirements, with the detailed technical specification available in the tender materials. The requirement is a single service package rather than a set of separately described products or works. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The successful supplier will provide the technology and associated support needed for FSCS’s risk management activities throughout the contract term.

The process has reached tender: FSCS invited suppliers to submit offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It is a two-stage process. Stage 1 tenders are checked against financial, legal and technical conditions of participation, then the three highest-scoring suppliers, subject to the stated tie arrangements, are intended to progress to system demonstration or presentation at Stage 2. The most advantageous tender will be awarded the contract. Enquiries and tender submissions were due by 1 September 2026 at 12:00 BST, with the award decision due by 2 October 2026. The contract is planned from 16 October 2026 to 15 October 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions to a maximum end date of 15 October 2031. Its gross value is £420,000. Evaluation is 70% technical quality and 30% price.

This opportunity suits technology suppliers with experience delivering risk management systems and providing licensing, support and maintenance over a multi-year public-sector contract. Bidders must demonstrate that they meet FSCS’s financial, legal and technical conditions of participation before their tenders receive full evaluation. The technical requirements are set out in the functional and non-functional requirements and the ITT documents. Shortlisted suppliers must be able to take part in a system demonstration or presentation and perform well against the stated scoring methodology. Technical quality carries substantially more weight than price, so suppliers with a strong, demonstrable solution and credible delivery capability are well placed. Submissions are electronic and must be in English.
