## Summary

The contracting process led by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has culminated in the award of a contract titled "Economic Value of Financial Regulation," classified under Economic research services. The procurement, aimed at estimating the economic value of FCA-related activities against a scenario devoid of regulation, was executed with a value of £45,000. The procurement process followed a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded contract period runs from 16th March 2026 to 31st July 2026. The FCA, located in London, commissioned this service in the services category, with the tender stage now complete as of June 2026.

This tender opens avenues for growth particularly for consultancies and economic research firms specialising in financial regulation. The selective procurement method indicates a preference for experienced suppliers with existing frameworks, offering business opportunities for companies that can demonstrate robust expertise and prior engagement in regulatory economic assessments. The non-suitability for SMEs and VCSEs directs this towards larger consultancies, like GRANT THORNTON UK ADVISORY & TAX LLP, the awarded supplier, who are capable of delivering comprehensive and independent consultancy services to assess regulatory impacts effectively.

## Notice

Procurement for an independent expert/consultancy to estimate the economic value of FCA related activities and the value of the full regulatory framework against a counterfactual of 'no regulator' (i.e. left to industry standards).
