UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured data science consultancy services, with the awarded requirement titled Data Scientist. The work is categorised as business and management consultancy services (CPV 79410000) and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement concerns professional data science support for the FCA rather than the supply of software, equipment or physical works. The FCA is the buying organisation and is a central government public authority. The requirement was organised as one completed lot. It is relevant to organisations providing data science consultancy and related business consultancy services, particularly those able to support a UK public-sector financial regulator with specialist data-science capability.

The procurement has been awarded following a competitive selective process under a framework agreement. One completed lot was awarded to Infosys Limited on 21 July 2026. The award value is £231,285 excluding VAT and £277,542 including VAT. The signed contract is valued at £231,282 excluding VAT and £277,542 including VAT. It was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027, with an option to extend for a further six months until 31 August 2027; the published award value includes the extension. The contract is active, and its stated title is Data Scientist Services. Evaluation was competitive within the framework route.

This award demonstrates established demand from the Financial Conduct Authority for dedicated data science consultancy delivered through a framework route. It provides a useful benchmark for suppliers monitoring future FCA requirements in this specific market: the buyer selected a large consultancy for a Data Scientist service rather than a general technology supply or construction package. Suppliers seeking to compete when a comparable requirement returns would need a credible data science consultancy offer, with the organisational scale and delivery capability to provide specialist services to a central government financial regulator. Experience of operating through the relevant framework route would also be commercially important, because this procurement was a competitive framework award rather than an open standalone tender.
