Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured services for its AML Supervisory Reform programme, focused on agentic case management and workflow. The work involved exploring case-management, workflow and orchestration, and agentic automation capabilities through a focused software-as-a-service or end-to-end vendor proof of concept. The purpose was to validate market capabilities rapidly and with evidence, helping the FCA compare options and inform its future technology route. This is an IT services requirement covering consulting, software development, internet and support services. Suppliers relevant to this requirement would be able to demonstrate practical technology for managing supervisory cases, coordinating workflows and automating work through agentic systems, rather than offering only general technology advice or isolated software components.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold contract. OneReach was selected for the single lot, with the award active. The contract was signed and began on 1 September 2026. Its planned end date is 2 November 2026, with a maximum extent date of 31 December 2026. The contract value is £20,000 excluding VAT and £24,000 including VAT. Renewal is available for a period agreed between the parties. The procurement was evaluated through the FCA’s requirement for rapid, evidence-based validation of market capabilities, comparing focused SaaS or end-to-end vendor proof-of-concept options for agentic case management and workflow. The contract remains below the relevant threshold.

For suppliers assessing future FCA demand, this procurement indicates a buyer seeking demonstrable capability in agentic case management and workflow rather than a conventional software implementation alone. Credible competitors would need to combine case-management technology with workflow orchestration and automation, and show how those capabilities operate in a focused proof of concept. Evidence-led validation is central, so suppliers should be able to provide a working SaaS or end-to-end product, compare its performance against supervisory needs and explain the technology route it supports. Relevant strengths include IT consulting, software development, internet-based services and technical support, with the capacity to move rapidly from discovery to demonstrable results. A supplier able to integrate these capabilities into a coherent AML supervision use case would be better placed to compete when this requirement returns.
