Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), a prominent public authority within the central government sector, has completed a procurement process for a specialist minerals consultant. This contract, titled "Listings - Specialist Minerals Consultant," involves analysis services in the minerals and oil and gas sectors. The consultancy is crucial for reviewing Mineral Expert Reports and offering expert guidance on related Listings cases. Situated in London, the contract was awarded on 29th October 2025, with the active period beginning on 31st October 2025 and extending until 27th October 2028. The procurement method employed was direct, without competition, as it was below the threshold, with a gross contract value of £180,000.
