## Summary

FCA procured vulnerability analysis services through a partner resource arrangement. The role is for a Vulnerability Analyst who combines analytical expertise with communication and collaboration skills to work with cross-functional teams, drive remediation activity and improve the organisation’s overall security posture. This is a specialist computer support and consultancy service, classified under CPV 72600000. The requirement sits within the services category and was to be delivered in London, United Kingdom, at FCA’s address in Endeavour Square, London E20 1JN. The work focuses on identifying and analysing vulnerabilities, communicating findings effectively, coordinating with relevant teams and supporting action to address security weaknesses.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 April 2026 at 12:00. FCA awarded the requirement to SOFTCAT LTD - FCA on 10 April 2026 for £80,000. The estimated procurement value was between £70,000 and £80,000. The contract period ran from 13 April 2026 to 3 July 2026. The recorded award was active. This was a single requirement rather than a lot-based award. The process was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement used a framework route rather than an open competition.

This requirement indicates demand from FCA for specialist vulnerability analysis delivered by a partner resource, with the ability to work across organisational teams. A credible future supplier would need strong analytical capability in identifying and assessing security vulnerabilities, together with the communication skills to explain findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders. It would also need to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and support remediation rather than only produce assessments. Experience of driving remediation activity and improving an organisation’s overall security posture would be directly relevant. Suppliers should be able to operate through the relevant framework call-off route and demonstrate the capacity to provide an individual or resource with this combination of technical analysis, collaboration and security improvement skills.

## Notice

The Vulnerability Analyst will combine analytical expertise with effective communication and collaboration skills to engage cross-functional teams, drive remediation efforts, and enhance the organization's overall security posture.
