Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured consultancy services to support its strategic procurement activity. The work was delivered in Stratford, London. The requirement was for procurement consultancy support rather than the purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Capita Business Services Ltd on 17 September 2026. The award value was £80,028. The contract period runs from 1 October to 31 December 2026. The FCA used a selective process, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The requirement was treated as a single procurement, with the award covering the consultancy support. The published award records the supplier and contract period; no separate evaluation criteria are described in the available procurement details.

This award shows that the FCA buys external consultancy to support strategic procurement activity, using a call-off from a framework agreement. Capita Business Services Ltd, a large supplier, was selected for this short-duration assignment. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate relevant procurement consultancy expertise and the capacity to support the FCA’s strategic procurement work over a concentrated delivery period. The route used indicates that access to an appropriate framework is commercially important for suppliers seeking comparable FCA work. The stated suitability excludes SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so the opportunity is oriented towards larger established providers rather than those supplier groups. The specific work is procurement support, not general management consultancy.
