## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority has awarded a contract for the "Phase 2 of Section 166," focusing on business and management consultancy services. This procurement exercise, completed under a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, involves work in London, United Kingdom. The contract commenced on 16th May 2025 and is set to conclude by 31st July 2025, with a contract value totalling £193,860. The tender, under the main procurement category of services, was facilitated with a tender period concluding on 18th February 2025 and was awarded to Pathlight Associates.
