About this data
  • Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

    FCA is proposing to procure a new Decision Intelligence Platform (DIP) that will seek to replace a number of analytics / Intel management capabilities. The requirement also includes an Intelligence Management platform, either as an integrated single solution or two separate solutions.

    The purpose of this Pre-Market Engagement is to better understand the options available, and inform any ensuing tender process.

    The scope of this Pre-Market Engagement includes:

    • Developing the FCA’s requirements for a procurement to establish a Decision Intelligence and Intelligence Management capability. This capability will form a key pillar of our innovation and growth strategy.
    • Designing the procedure, conditions of participation or award criteria for a possible future procurement.
    • Identifying suppliers that may be able to supply the services required for any future procurement.

    As well as Improving the FCA’s understanding of:

    • the maturity and breadth of the current market;
    • alternative technical and commercial approaches;
    • the extent to which requirements can be met through configurable product capabilities;
    • likely implementation dependencies, constraints and risks;
    • interoperability with the FCA’s existing and future technology estate;
    • approaches to information security, sovereignty, privacy and responsible AI;
    • indicative implementation timescales, resource requirements and costs; and
    • options for maintaining flexibility and avoiding disproportionate supplier dependency.
