## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority procured a due diligence checking platform, supplied as a software-related service. The platform is intended to let the authority carry out due diligence checks. Delivery is in London, at the FCA’s Endeavour Square location, postcode E20 1JN. This is a technology service centred on providing access to a platform for checks, rather than a general software development requirement. The named buyer is the Financial Conduct Authority, and the selected supplier is Dun & Bradstreet Ltd. The requirement may suit providers of business due diligence tools and platforms serving financial regulators or other organisations with comparable checking needs.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Dun & Bradstreet Ltd on 2 October 2026. The award value is £25,566. The contract runs from 13 October 2026 to 12 October 2027. The original estimated value range was £20,000 to £30,000. The route was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 4 September 2026 at 12:00. The stated purpose was provision of a platform for the FCA to perform due diligence checks. The published procurement data does not describe evaluation criteria, eligibility requirements, or separate lots, so the award outcome and stated procurement route are the available basis for understanding how this contract was placed.

For suppliers considering future comparable FCA requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a due diligence checking platform as a service, procured through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need to provide a platform that enables the authority to conduct due diligence checks, with a service suitable for delivery to the FCA in London. The incumbent is a large supplier, indicating that an established provider was selected for this requirement; however, the procurement does not set out specific technical standards, accreditations, capacity thresholds or experience requirements. Businesses with a proven due diligence platform and the ability to support a public-sector customer may find this buyer’s recurring requirement relevant. The contract’s one-year term gives a reference point for the scale and shape of the requirement, rather than evidence of a wider technology project.
