This initiative, with an estimated value of £10 million, falls under the service category, specifically involving specialist training and development services. The procurement process commenced with a planning milestone on 23rd December 2025 and is currently in the pre-market engagement phase, scheduled to conclude by 16th January 2026. The contract period is expected to start on 1st January 2027, lasting until 1st January 2030, with a potential extension until 31st December 2030. Businesses can register and find more details on the FCA's procurement portal, Atamis.

This tender process presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in education, training, and staff development services. Given that the FCA is open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), this opens the door for a diverse range of providers to participate. Companies specialising in the relevant CPV codes — 80510000 (Specialist training services) and 80000000 (Education and training services) — could leverage this contract to expand their service offerings and secure a high-value engagement with a major public sector client.
