## Summary

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) based in London has completed a procurement process for the project titled "GB-London: CON-21-264 High Cost Credit Research". This project falls within the market research services industry category and was initiated to investigate the challenges consumers face in accessing high-cost credit products. The tender period ended on 31 January 2022, while the contract commenced on 7 February 2022 and will conclude on 31 July 2022. The total value of the contract is £140,741.40.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in market research and analysis, particularly those with expertise in consumer finance and credit services. Companies that can demonstrate experience in conducting comprehensive research projects and analysing consumer behaviour would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar tenders in the future. This type of research is vital for organisations looking to strengthen their understanding of the credit landscape and consumer access issues.

## Notice

The FCA wants to better understand whether consumers who have used high-cost credit products in the past, or who might consider using high-cost credit products, are facing difficulties in accessing credit. In order to do this, we have commissioned a research project to explore the incidence and nature of access issues, as well as the reasons for seeking credit and the impacts of using (or not being able to access) high-cost credit.
