Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) procured campaign tracking services to measure the performance of its marketing campaigns. The requirement covers FCA activity including InvestSmart, Firm Checker and Motor Finance, and is classified as market research services. Work is delivered in London, including at the FCA’s office at 12 Endeavour Square, E20 1JN. The service is relevant to market research agencies, campaign measurement specialists and organisations that can design, manage and report tracking research for public-facing financial services campaigns. The requirement concerns performance monitoring and insight rather than the delivery of advertising or broader marketing activity. It is a services contract for the FCA as the buying organisation.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. FCA selected IPSOS MORI UK LTD on 5 May 2026 for £1,094,076 including the awarded value. The estimated procurement range was £863,724 to £1,094,076, in each case in GBP. The contract period runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2030. It was a selective procedure, conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender submission deadline on 22 April 2026 at 12:00. The award was active and related to a single campaign tracking services requirement. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The FCA recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates sustained FCA demand for structured measurement of marketing campaign performance across financial services topics. Competitors considering comparable work for the FCA would need credible market research capability, campaign tracking expertise and the capacity to monitor several named campaigns within one service. They would need to turn campaign activity into reliable performance evidence and provide insight that supports the FCA’s public-facing work. Experience across financial products or regulated communications would help a supplier understand campaigns such as InvestSmart, Firm Checker and Motor Finance, while the four-year requirement indicates the need for dependable delivery and continuity. The route to market is also significant: comparable suppliers would need access to, or a position on, the relevant framework agreement to pursue a future call-off on similar terms.
