## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), located in London, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for the provision of an eDiscovery solution. The process was conducted using the Restricted Procedure under the Public Procurement Regulations 2015, involving two stages: a Selection Questionnaire and an Invitation to Tender (ITT). The procurement focused on goods within the software package and information systems category, specifically compliance software packages. This contract is set for an initial five-year term with an optional two-year extension. Notable procurement timelines included the publication of a contract notice on 30 January 2025 and the completion of the award phase by 13 March 2026, with the contract signed on 13 February 2026. The awarded contract was valued at £24,416,666, covering the full potential term of seven years.

This eDiscovery solution procurement by the FCA creates growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software package development, particularly those offering scalable and intuitive eDiscovery systems. Suppliers with expertise in compliance software and those capable of handling large data volumes and sensitive information management will find this tender particularly lucrative. The opted procurement method welcomed bids from at least five suppliers deemed financially stable with the technical competence and experience for delivering the service. The successful bidder, EDT INTERNATIONAL LLC, demonstrates the growth potential for SMEs seeking to expand their footprint in the UK market, as the contract emphasises partnership and technology innovation, inviting suppliers to bring forward advanced technological features within their offerings.
