    Brief

    The FCA seeks to convert existing testing capabilities from a Proof of Concept into a scalable, on-demand testing platform for 2026. The solution must implement a 'testing-as-service' model with direct API integration to the project system. The platform must support two distinct testing modes: (1) On-Demand Testing - lightweight, configurable testing accessible to development teams for real-time stability and performance monitoring to inform development decisions; (2) Full System Testing - comprehensive, detailed evaluation performed on regular cycles or on-demand to validate all testing dimensions and ensure system compliance. Suppliers should have expertise in API integration, test automation, platform development, and understanding of financial services testing requirements. This opportunity involves building a repeatable, production-ready service that can be reliably accessed and configured by multiple users.
