Summary

Machine-generated summary

The Financial Conduct Authority publishes this pipeline notice for the Smarter Digital Access Programme, which will involve separate future procurements. The anticipated scope includes three main areas. First, an IT professional services framework contract known as the Digital Capability Framework, covering application development, engineering, technical infrastructure, service management, enterprise architecture, and data services. Second, the programme addresses non-strategic software and hardware expenditure. Third, it involves resource provision for cybersecurity labour-based requirements. The stated estimated value represents the authority's current best estimate of aggregate expenditure across the entire programme. This figure does not constitute a commitment to spend that amount or reflect the value of individual contracts. All spending remains subject to internal approval processes within the authority.
