Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), based in London, has completed the procurement process for the "Career Pathways and Toolkits" project. This project falls under the services category, specifically business and management consultancy, with work centred around providing career pathway consultancy services as part of the FCA’s Employee Value Proposition. The contract, identified as C3689, was awarded to Prophet Brand Strategy, a small to medium-sized enterprise, and spans a period from 5th January 2026 to 6th July 2026, with potential for a six-month extension. Despite being a limited competition procurement method, the process was conducted below the threshold, with all related procedures now concluded.

This opportunity showcases how participating in government contracts can open avenues for growth, especially for businesses in consultancy services. Companies providing business and management consultancy, particularly those able to integrate career development and employee engagement solutions, could significantly benefit from similar future opportunities. This contract not only signifies a chance to collaborate with a central government authority like the FCA, but also positions the successful bidder as a valued partner in shaping robust career pathways, thereby enhancing the business credibility and reach in public service sectors.
