Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) commissioned consultancy services to develop a prioritised, end-to-end digital and artificial intelligence roadmap. The work covers mapping the organisation’s current state, identifying opportunities, and producing a clear, sequenced plan for delivery. This is a business and technology transformation assignment rather than a software supply or construction project, within IT consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000). Delivery is associated with the FCA’s offices at 12 Endeavour Square, London, E20 1JN. The requirement is categorised as a service and concerns the FCA’s organisation-wide digital and AI direction, including the analysis needed to determine priorities and support future implementation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Ernst & Young LLP was awarded the contract on 24 August 2026 for £489,960 including the stated contract value. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. The wider estimated procurement range was £489,960 to £653,280. The tender submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 12:00. The award is active and the selected supplier is Ernst & Young LLP. This was a single service requirement, with the outcome based on the procurement route and framework call-off process described above.

This opportunity indicates demand from the FCA for a senior consultancy partner able to combine digital strategy, artificial intelligence expertise and practical delivery planning. Credible competitors for a future requirement of this kind would need to assess an organisation’s existing digital landscape, identify and prioritise opportunities, and turn those findings into a sequenced, end-to-end roadmap rather than a standalone technology proposal. They would also need the capacity to provide structured consulting support across business and technology stakeholders, linking strategic recommendations to deliverable implementation steps. The awarded supplier was a large professional services firm, signalling that scale, broad advisory capability and the ability to manage a complex organisational transformation assignment are commercially relevant.
