Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has recently completed a procurement process titled "C3232 Resourcing and Talent," aimed at acquiring a LinkedIn talent insight subscription. This contract, valued at £99,801, falls under the recruitment services industry category and was procured using a direct method through a single tender action below the threshold. The procurement process reached the award stage, with LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company being selected as the supplier. The contract period spans from 20th March 2025 to 19th March 2027. The procurement is based in London, United Kingdom, and was intended for broader recruiting services without specific provision for SMEs or VCSEs.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services or digital insights, particularly those with experience in providing online talent solutions. While the procurement was executed without a formal competitive tender, businesses in this field should be aware that such tenders may arise periodically, presenting potential partnership or subcontracting opportunities with organisations like the FCA. Companies capable of delivering innovative talent insights or digital recruitment tools would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar future opportunities.
