## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has completed the procurement process for a market research project aimed at testing the concept of Targeted Support in Pensions. Classified under Market research services (CPV code 79310000), this contract was awarded to NMG Consulting. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tendering period concluded on 18th June 2024, with the contract beginning on 8th July 2024 and ending on 13th December 2024. The contract's estimated value is £90,000, and it pertains to services to be delivered primarily in London, with the postal code E20 1JN. This tender has moved from the tender stage to the award stage, and the award notice was published on 24th July 2024.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in market research services, particularly those experienced in the financial sector and consumer behaviour analysis. While the current contract has been awarded, similar future opportunities could arise. Companies with robust market research capabilities, particularly those capable of evaluating consumer demand and financial decision-making, would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, engaging in such contracts with the FCA can enhance a company's portfolio and credibility within the UK public procurement landscape.

## Notice
