## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) procured a Datadog annual contract renewal to support its Cloud IPG. The requirement covers enterprise-grade infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring and security logging, enabling the FCA to manage and secure its cloud estate. This is an IT services requirement covering software and related support, rather than a construction or physical supply contract. Delivery is associated with the FCA’s offices at 12 Endeavour Square, London, E20 1JN. The work is categorised under IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support. Businesses relevant to this requirement are cloud monitoring, observability, application performance and security logging providers, or technology resellers and support partners able to supply and support Datadog for an enterprise cloud environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 July 2026 to SOFTCAT LTD - FCA. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender had an estimated value of £800,000, while the awarded value was £1,000,000. The awarded contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 12 July 2026. This was a single IT services requirement, with the tender record marking it as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is responsible for providing the Datadog capability to the FCA for the stated contract period.

For a supplier that did not secure this award, the procurement demonstrates established demand for enterprise cloud observability and security tooling within the FCA. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong capability in infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring and security logging, with the operational maturity to support a substantial cloud estate. Relevant experience should include implementing or administering Datadog, integrating monitoring and logging across cloud services, and helping an organisation use alerts, performance data and security records to manage risk. The route to market is also significant: access to an appropriate framework and the ability to deliver through a framework call-off would be important. The procurement’s suitability assessment indicates that the buyer was seeking an established, enterprise-scale supplier rather than a small or voluntary-sector provider.
