The procurement focuses on providing procurement consultancy services, specifically supporting the embedding of the new Consultancy and Skilled Persons Framework for six months. This tender falls under the services category and operates within the procurement consultancy industry. The process is in the Award stage, with B2E Consulting Solutions Ltd named as the supplier. The contract period started on 1 April 2026 and will conclude on 30 September 2026, with a total value of £141,372 GBP. The procurement method used was selective, executed through a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses skilled in procurement consultancy, especially those experienced in consulting frameworks. Despite being unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, larger consulting firms with established credentials in procurement consultancy stand to benefit significantly from such partnerships, particularly given the FCA's reputable standing as a buyer.
