Notice Information
Notice Title
Insolvency Practitioner (IP) Panel
Notice Description
In certain situations, the FCA may seek to exercise its powers to apply to the court to appoint an insolvency practitioner (IP) over an authorised firm, to apply to replace an incumbent IP with a new IP, or to suggest a candidate IP for appointment by a firm. We are seeking to establish a Panel of consulting and restructuring firms which can provide IPs to take on such appointments. The Panel will exist for a term of four years. Please note this is not a procurement to which the Procurement Act 2023 applies. The purpose of this exercise is to establish a panel of Insolvency Practitioner Firms which provide practitioners with the requisite skills and experience to be appointed in the event of the insolvency of an authorised firm. There will be no contracts between the FCA and panel firms, nor will firms receive any payments from FCA funds. Bidders will need to register on the FCA's eProcurement system (Atamis) to respond to the RFP (https://atamis-fca.my.site.com/s/Welcome). Bidders should refer to the Atamis Supplier User Guide (https://services.atamis.co.uk/docs/Supplier_User_Guide.pdf) for further information. If issues are experienced in accessing Atamis or any documents within Atamis you should contract their dedicated helpdesk on 029 2279 0052 or email at support@atamis.co.uk.
