UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority procured project management office (PMO) services to support its programme and project management activity. The requirement is classified as project management consultancy services and falls within the services category. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buyer is the Financial Conduct Authority, a central government public authority based in London. The procurement covered one requirement for PMO services, rather than separate goods, construction works or multiple service packages. It would suit consultancies that provide structured programme and project management support, PMO functions, governance, reporting, planning and related advisory services for public-sector organisations. The appointed supplier, Mason Advisory Limited, is a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise specialising in advisory work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Mason Advisory Limited. The award was made on 19 August 2026 through a selective, competitive award under a framework. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and has a contract period from 2 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its published value is £228,600 excluding VAT and £274,320 including VAT. The buyer holds an option to extend the contract for a further five months, with the extension value included in the published contract value; the maximum stated extent is 1 September 2027. One lot was awarded, and the resulting contract is active. The published procurement classification identifies the work as project management consultancy services.

This award demonstrates demand from the Financial Conduct Authority for specialist PMO and project management consultancy support delivered through a framework route. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work with this buyer would need to provide credible PMO capability, including programme governance, project planning, coordination, reporting, risk and issue management, and support for decision-making across a portfolio of work. Experience of advising a regulated public authority or similarly complex organisation would help demonstrate that the supplier can work within formal governance, assurance and accountability arrangements. A suitable provider would also need the capacity to mobilise and manage a dedicated consultancy service, maintain reliable management information and work with client stakeholders. The award to a small and medium-sized enterprise indicates that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only a large systems integrator.
