Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) bought marketing and attraction support for its early careers campaigns. This is a recruitment-marketing service intended to help attract candidates to early-career opportunities. The work sits within business services, covering marketing and recruitment support. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to RMP Enterprise Limited, trading as Higherin. The FCA used a direct award below the public procurement threshold, without competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £29,540 excluding VAT and £35,448 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome records no evaluation or award criteria.

This award shows demand at the FCA for specialist support in marketing and attracting early-career candidates, delivered as a focused service rather than a competed multi-lot programme. A credible supplier for this requirement would need practical experience promoting early-career opportunities and attracting suitable candidates, with the ability to plan and deliver recruitment campaigns for a public-sector organisation. Marketing and recruitment capability are both relevant: the requirement combines campaign activity with candidate attraction, rather than being a general marketing commission. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the work can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider. Suppliers assessing similar work should be able to demonstrate a clear fit with early-careers audiences and campaign delivery, while recognising that this particular award was made directly without competition.
