Summary of the contracting process

In a recently concluded procurement process, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), based in London, sought expert consultancy services for a project titled "Target Architecture". This procurement was classified under the industry category of Technical Analysis or Consultancy Services with a CPV code of 71621000. The procurement method utilised was selective, carried out through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tendering aimed at helping the FCA define its Target State Architecture. The award process was marked complete with the successful completion of the tender period on 19th February 2026, and the contract, valued at £191,666.67, is scheduled to run from 23rd February 2026 to 30th April 2026. The procurement process culminated with the award to The Berkeley Partnership on 20th February 2026.

This tender offers an opportunity for consultancy firms specialised in technical analysis and organisational architecture to expand their business with a prestigious institution such as the FCA. Companies capable of providing strategic guidance and proficient in enhancing organisational frameworks are well-suited to compete for such contracts. Firms not classified under small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were particularly appropriate for this opportunity, reflecting a preference for larger, more established consultancy practices capable of handling such extensive and critical projects.
