## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) based in London, United Kingdom, is planning a procurement process for a Public Key Infrastructure as a service (PKIaaS) solution. This IT services tender falls under the industry category of IT services, with a contract value of £2.2 million. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with the future notice date set for April 30, 2024. The contract period is scheduled to run from November 29, 2024, to November 30, 2027.

This procurement opportunity by the FCA presents a chance for businesses in the IT services sector, specifically those involved in data security software development services, to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are deemed suitable for this tender. Businesses interested in providing a cloud-based PKIaaS solution integrated with lifecycle management and certificate issuing capabilities should consider participating in this upcoming procurement process to support the FCA's key and certificate management needs.

## Notice

NOTICE ONLY The current FCA PKI service utilises multiple processes and manual intervention making the process slow and inefficient. A robust PKI service is crucial for maintaining trust, security, and privacy in digital communications by effectively managing cryptographic keys and certificates. The FCA is seeking to procure a Public Key Infrastructure as a service (PKIaaS) solution to provide central key and certificate management across the FCA estate as well as support end user devices and TLS. There is a requirement to establish ownership for the PKI service to increase transparency and provide accountability. The introduction of a PKIaaS will enable the FCA to move away from a localised PKI. There will be a requirement to rollout a cloud-based PKIaaS with integrated lifecycle management with a dedicated offline root Certificate Authority (CA) with certificate issuing capability. The certificates for public-facing websites will be integrated with PKIaaS and processes for automated certificate management developed. The solution must support integration with Intune, AzureAD Single Sign On, and FCA PAM solution.
