Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) procured communications analyst support for its Regulatory Excellence programme. The appointed service is intended to provide stakeholder engagement, internal communications and change management, supporting awareness, engagement and adoption across the organisation. This is a professional services requirement with a project management consultancy classification (CPV 72224000). Delivery was based in London, including the FCA’s premises at 12 Endeavour Square, London E20 1JN. The work is therefore suited to organisations able to provide an embedded or closely managed communications analyst service for a UK financial regulator, covering both internal audiences and wider stakeholder relationships while supporting organisational change.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 23 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the award was made on 30 March 2026. PA Consulting Services Ltd was selected, with an awarded value of £98,890 excluding any stated tax treatment. The tender’s estimated value was £98,820. The awarded contract ran from 1 April 2026 to 30 June 2026. FCA’s published suitability assessment did not reserve the opportunity for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement was evaluated within the framework call-off process; the available information identifies the requirement and route but does not state separate quality or price weightings.

For a supplier that did not win this call-off, the requirement demonstrates demand for short-term communications analysis supporting a regulatory transformation programme. A credible competitor would need to combine stakeholder engagement, internal communications and change management, with the ability to turn a complex organisational initiative into clear messages that encourage awareness, engagement and adoption. Experience of working with regulated, public-sector or similarly complex organisations would be commercially relevant, particularly where communication must serve staff, senior stakeholders and external audiences. Suppliers should be able to provide an analyst who can work across communications and change activity rather than offering a narrow media or marketing service. Framework access and the capacity to deliver a focused consultancy assignment would also be important.
