This contract was aimed at acquiring specialist economist and business analyst support to incorporate growth and competitive elements into the FCA's supervisory strategies. Located in London, United Kingdom, the procurement took place through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 21st January 2026, with a contract period scheduled from 23rd February 2026 to 22nd May 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for firms specialising in economic research and analytical services, particularly those adept at engaging with regulatory bodies and providing data-driven recommendations. Businesses with expertise in economic consultancy and a capacity for large-scale analysis are particularly well-suited to competing in such procurements. Although this specific opportunity has been awarded, similar opportunities could offer substantial growth prospects for consulting firms looking to collaborate with government entities such as the FCA.
