Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) procured specialist business and management consultancy services for its Regulatory Excellence (RegEx) programme. The work covers operating model design, business change, governance and implementation support. Its purpose is to help the FCA deliver a more data-enabled, risk-based and proportionate regulatory framework. Delivery is in London, including the FCA’s premises at 12 Endeavour Square, London E20 1JN. This is a services requirement rather than a goods or construction contract, and is relevant to consultancies that advise regulators or other complex organisations on operating models, transformation, governance, data-enabled regulation and implementation. The requirement is focused on supporting the FCA’s regulatory operating model and associated business change, rather than general management consultancy.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Mason Advisory Limited on 29 May 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 10 April 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value range was £3,209,552 to £3,977,794, while the award value was £3,209,552, all in GBP. The awarded contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 25 June 2027. The selected supplier is responsible for the full requirement described for the RegEx programme. The process was assessed through the framework call-off route, with the award recorded as active. This outcome indicates a substantial, defined consultancy engagement with the FCA rather than a small or routine advisory assignment.

This award is most relevant to established consultancies able to provide senior specialists across operating model design, organisational and business change, governance, implementation and regulatory transformation. Credible competitors would need to show that they can turn regulatory strategy into practical operating arrangements, support delivery across a complex public body and improve the use of data in risk-based decision-making. Experience of financial regulation, regulated environments, assurance, governance design and proportionate controls would strengthen a future proposition. The requirement is marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the buyer expects the capacity, specialist depth and delivery infrastructure of a larger consultancy or a well-resourced framework supplier. Firms tracking FCA transformation priorities should use this award as evidence of demand for integrated regulatory change support.
