## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority is seeking tenders for the "PSN Core Services" project, which involves providing Domain Name Server (DNS) services that facilitate secure digital communication for the government and public sector. The contract, classified under the Software package and information systems category, is valued at £15,000. The tender was awarded on 16 November 2020, with a contract duration starting from 1 December 2020 and ending on 31 January 2023. The deliverables are to be provided in London, United Kingdom, and the procurement method utilised was a selective process via a framework agreement.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in IT services, especially in DNS management and digital communication solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as the tender is suitable for them, potentially allowing them to expand their operations and customer base by securing contracts with a major public sector buyer. Companies with experience in secure information systems and service delivery within government frameworks would be well-positioned to compete.
