Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), located in London, which sought creative content and design services, including motion picture, photographic, and graphic design, for overflow design projects such as video creation and podcasts. The procurement, which falls under the 'award' stage as of April 2026, was initiated as a tender through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contractual period runs from 23rd March 2026 to 22nd March 2029, with the award valued at £600,000. This tender was classified under the motion picture and video production services industry category, with the project set in the London region of the United Kingdom.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in design, video production, and creative services. APS Group has been awarded the contract, highlighting potential scope for collaboration or future opportunities for similar businesses in the industry. Although the procurement process was selective and facilitated through a framework agreement, firms with robust experience in these services, especially larger entities rather than SMEs or VCSEs, are well-placed to compete effectively in such tenders, thereby advancing their market presence and expanding their portfolio in the creative services domain.
