Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has completed a tender process for the provision of Legal Services, identified under the CPV classification code 79100000. This procurement, conducted as a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, is valued between £250,000 and £500,000. The contract awarded to Ashurst LLP begins on 4th January 2021 and will last until 4th January 2022. The procurement process was initiated on 30th December 2020, with the tender period concluding on 24th December 2020, at their headquarters in London, England (postcode E20 1JN).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for legal firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage with a major regulatory authority. Businesses specialising in legal services, especially those with experience in compliance and regulatory issues, would be well-suited to compete in future tenders of a similar nature, as they can leverage the FCA's ongoing need for expert legal support.
