UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured a minor construction project for alterations to a secure room. The work covers changes to internal walls and doors, falling within the construction works category. The buying organisation is the Financial Conduct Authority, based at 12 Endeavour Square, London. Delivery was recorded in the UKI area, so this requirement is relevant to construction firms able to carry out internal building alterations for a central government public authority in London. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement covering the secure room alterations rather than a broader programme of construction services. Its practical focus is on modifying enclosed internal spaces and associated doors to meet the buyer’s secure-room needs.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. OPEC Construction Ltd was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and is active for 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £250,000 excluding VAT, or £300,000 including VAT. The tender itself is recorded as complete, and the award is active. Evaluation was therefore conducted through a direct award route rather than an open competition. The contract is not split into multiple awarded lots: the secure room alterations form the sole requirement. No separate award date is recorded alongside the outcome.

This procurement demonstrates that the Financial Conduct Authority buys substantial, defined packages of internal construction work for secure operational spaces. Competitors would need practical capability in altering internal walls and doors, coordinating construction activity within an occupied public-sector environment, and delivering work suited to secure-room requirements. The successful supplier was an SME construction company, indicating that a specialist small or medium-sized contractor can be credible for this scale of requirement. Firms with relevant building alterations experience, reliable project management, appropriate site controls and the capacity to complete a year-long contract would be well placed to monitor similar requirements from this buyer. The key commercial lesson is to understand the buyer’s direct-award route and secure-room construction needs.
