Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), based in London, has completed the procurement process for expert witness services, classified under CPV code 71319000. The contract, valued at £180,000, was awarded to MAZARS LLP. This selective procurement was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was finalised on 30th January 2025, with the contract set to start on 3rd March 2025 and end on 30th November 2026. The services will be delivered in London, UK, making this an important opportunity for firms within the expert witness services industry.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in providing expert witness services. Businesses with a background in expert advisory roles that have the capacity to meet the specialised needs of the FCA would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Though this specific opportunity does not target SMEs or VCSEs, larger firms with established frameworks for selective procurements are well-positioned to benefit and expand their client base through such government contracts.
