UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority bought specialist consultancy services, specifically financial consultancy support. The work is intended to support the Authority’s activities and is being delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement is service-based and was arranged as a single requirement. The contract title is Specialist Consultancy Support. The selected supplier, St Giles Analytics, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Swansea. This requirement is relevant to firms providing specialist financial consultancy, advisory analysis or related professional support to a central government public authority, particularly those able to deliver services nationally. The available description indicates a focused consultancy requirement rather than goods, construction or general administrative support.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The Financial Conduct Authority selected St Giles Analytics, with the award active. The contract was signed and began on 17 August 2026, running to 1 June 2028. Its value is £104,166.66 excluding VAT, or £125,000 including VAT. The award date is 17 August 2026. The procurement used one lot, covering financial consultancy services. The available award information identifies the supplier and contract outcome; evaluation was through the below-threshold direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract remains active for the stated period, and the procurement itself is recorded as complete.

This award demonstrates the Financial Conduct Authority’s demand for specialist financial consultancy support at a substantial professional-services scale. A future competitor would need credible expertise in financial consultancy, with the ability to provide focused specialist advice and analytical support to a UK central government regulator. Relevant firms are likely to need a clear understanding of regulatory, financial-services and public-authority environments, alongside suitably qualified consultants and the capacity to sustain delivery over a multi-year engagement. St Giles Analytics’ position as an SME also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only by a large professional-services group. Firms tracking this buyer should develop evidence of comparable regulatory or financial consultancy work and the governance needed for public-sector delivery.
