Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has conducted a public procurement process titled "SMF - Business Change Support", classified under procurement consultancy services (CPV code 79418000). This tender, associated with the industry category of services, took place in London, United Kingdom. The procurement progressed to the award stage on 13 February 2026, with the contract period set from 16 February 2026 to 31 July 2026. It involved a modification and extension of the original contract, with a maximum value reaching £80,727.60. The procurement method utilised was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and no specific suitability for SMEs or voluntary sector entities was indicated.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in procurement consultancy services to engage with a prominent institution like the FCA. Although the procurement process is complete, similar opportunities could benefit firms specialising in business change support. Companies experienced in delivering such services within the financial sector and seeking to expand their client base with governmental bodies would find this type of contract advantageous for business growth. The involvement of a major player such as CAPITA BUSINESS SERVICES LTD as a supplier also highlights the level of competitiveness and prestige associated with such contracts.
