Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured services to create training materials for its Integrated Planning and Project Tooling (IPPT) project. The materials support communications, staff training and the rollout of a new platform. The requirement covers design support and training services. Delivery is for the FCA, whose address is 12 Endeavour Square, London, E20 1JN. This is a central government public authority requirement focused on communicating a technology-enabled change programme and helping users understand and adopt the new platform. It will suit businesses that combine instructional content development with clear communications and practical training, particularly where materials must support a structured organisational rollout. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, with the awarded services linked to that scope.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The FCA used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the stated legal basis. DTW Communications & Marketing Limited was selected for the training-materials services. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date was 17 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its value is £31,185 excluding VAT, or £37,422 including VAT. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is below threshold and relates to one completed lot. No separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from the Financial Conduct Authority for a supplier able to turn a platform implementation into usable training and communications materials. A credible competitor for similar work would need capability in instructional or training-content design, clear business communications and support for the rollout of new digital systems. Experience helping staff adopt unfamiliar tools would be relevant, especially where content needs to work across communication, training and implementation activities rather than serving as standalone promotional material. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a focused specialist business can deliver this type of requirement at a modest public-sector scale. Suppliers should be able to show practical examples of training materials, platform or software adoption support, and reliable delivery for a regulated central-government organisation.
